I'd like to write a UI function to be called every loop that returns a function pointer to the UI event that should be executed. This would be pretty trivial in C++, but can I do the same in AppGameKit Basic?

Not at the moment unfortunately.
I'd like to see it in the future. They added it to DarkBASIC Professional so the code may be there to be implemented again.

Hey,

this is the third request I saw in a short time for function pointers.
If there is such a high demand, maybe it'll implemented really.

Is there a place where we can vote for AppGameKit features?
Except the Features Request thread...

Eqqman, if you are comfortable in C++, go with it.

It allows the full use of Object Oriented Programming and so much more control.

I now need to find the time to finish up a Tier 2 tutorial that shows off many things good in Tier 2 and how to handle stuff. I think this will become one of my targets for time on weekends.

And, it only takes a few lines in files to be able to use the same code file set for multiple platforms.

template.h:


template.cpp:


The above gives peeks into using a state machine for handling processes.

In Tier 2, while the agk::sync() call might update displays anywhere in the code, there is only one place that it updates user inputs (touches and stuff). And that is in the app::Loop method, and it will only do so once for each call.

Cheers,
Ancient Lady
