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

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 Fade, and WorkFactory.

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 Fade, and WorkFactory.
