Frame render method. Render all active and renderable Entities.
Processes Entities grouped by shader+model combinations so as to reduce the amount of GL buffering required and render in batches
Frame update method. Process the Entity addList and removeList, then run all active Entities' frame update methods
the Game the EntityManager is running within
the frame delta as calculated by the Game
Abstract core EntityManager; implementing the abstractable behaviour for the management, update, retrieval and rendering of Entities
Entities are any object existing in a Game's World, Text or UI
Three concrete EntityManagers are utilised by the core Game - World for world objects, UI for ui elements and Text for strings. These are broken down into specific 2D and 3D variants for type safety in 2D and 3D Games
Handles the management of Entity vertex lists, communicating with the Renderer to manage and draw scenes
Receives and works with a single TextureAtlas, thereby allowing for texture sources per Entity use-case
The concrete EntityManagers are available on the Game instance at
