AppState Question

[pspeed]

If you want to see how I personally use app states then there are many places to look.

You can look at the code for Monkey Trap which was a partial game I wrote using Zay-ES and Lemur.

Monkey Trap

So, about four weeks ago I started writing a “simple” maze RPG rougelike using whatever existing models and stuff I could find. This was supposed to be kind of an example of a more complicated ES-based game than Asteroid Panic while also making a good framework to implement networking. …then the project kind of took on a life of its own and became a way to test a bunch of ideas out. I should have guessed that when after the first two nights I already had a title screen and had written some ambi…

All of which use app states heavily… though I don’t know if any of them specifically have loading screens. (Monkey Trap might.)

None of my stuff uses nifty so you’ll be on your own for that… or whatever help others might provide. But those apps might give you an idea of how to break apart things into app states and have them easily refer to each other.
