public class Game
extends com.golden.gamedev.Game

Extension of the Golden T game to automate some Vooga API functionality.
initResources() automatically loads all resources associated with the resources.xml file in your game's resources package.
It also now has a built in GameStateManager which is automatically initialized in initResources. The initialization behavior can be changed by overriding initGameStates. The update and render methods call update and render for this GameStateManager.
The game also automatically loads the initial level using the Level XML parser
All subclasses should override initResources() and implement a main method that calls launch(). The initResources() method should first call super.initResources() and then initialize all the game states

addGameState

public GameState addGameState(GameState gameState)

add a GameState to the stateManager to prevent repetitive calls to retrieve the stateManager to add to it in Game extensions

Parameters:

gameState - GameState to add to the Game stateManager

Returns:

gameState added to reduce number of lines of code when adding GameStates

getResourceXMLPath

protected java.lang.String getResourceXMLPath()

Get the path for the resources package directory where the resources.xml file is

Returns:

the path for the resources directory

launch

public static void launch(Game g)

Launches the game using default or given settings. The game width, height, and fullscreen option are stored in a file called config.properties under the resources package. These values are extracted before the game is launched. Any subclass should call launch() in the main method

Parameters:

g -
