the specific 2D or 3D Game type the State will operate within
Constructor. Take a 2D or 3D StateConfig specifying the State's name and lifecycle methods
the StateConfig
Retrieve the State's name, as provided in its StateConfig
the State's name
Generic teardown lifecycle method, calling down to the StateConfig's end() if provided
Called by the Game when the State is switched away from
the 2D or 3D Game the State is operating within
Generic initialisation lifecycle method, calling down to the StateConfig's init() if provided
Called by the Game when the State is switched to
the 2D or 3D Game the State is operating within
Generic frame update lifecycle method, calling down to the StateConfig's tick()
Called by the Game during frame update when the State is active
the 2D or 3D Game the State is operating within
the frame delta as calculated by the Game
Abstract State; Aura's analogous concept for a scene - a literal distinct state that a game can be in at any given time
Broken down into concrete 2D and 3D variants, providing domain-specific type safety for implementation in 2D and 3D games
States comprise an init, end and frame update method. The Game uses these in switching to, switching away from, and maintaining a State
Example States may include Menu, Game, Pause, Dead, etc
