Detailed Description

Background job which stays part of the main loop independent of the active jngl::Work.

This can be used for an achievement system for example. Override this class and use jngl::addJob to register it.

Jobs (meaning instances of this class that were added using jngl::addJob) are always stepped before the active jngl::Work and drawn after it.

Member Function Documentation

step()

virtual void step ( )

pure virtual

Advance the game logic.

This function gets called 60 times per second or whatever has been set by setStepsPerSecond().

Note

JNGL's main loop calls all Jobs' step() functions before the active Work's step()

Implemented in WorkFactory.

draw()

virtual void draw ( ) const

pure virtual

Draw the game state.

As it isn't garuanteed that this function is called as often as Job::step, you shouldn't change any game state in it.

Note

JNGL's main loop calls all Jobs' draw() functions after the active Work's draw()

Implemented in WorkFactory.
