Detailed Description

This interface provides means to show graphics in the game and create the subsystems needed to create textures for the same renderer and GUI using the same renderer.

The interface provides separate methods for rendering to meet the needs of different kind of renderers (initialize, load to gpu, present, for example).

Even if a single renderer is only planed to be used (in this case, SDL) this interface is still useful to inject a DummyRenderer on Tests and be able to do integration tests without graphics.

Member Function Documentation

CreateGizmos()

virtual std::unique_ptr< Debug::IGizmos > Mochi::Graphics::IRenderer::CreateGizmos ( )

pure virtual

Creates (without ownership) a gizmos system compatible with the renderer. This system is only relevant on debug mode.

Returns

A unique pointer to the created gizmos system.

Implemented in Mochi::Graphics::DummyRenderer, and Mochi::Graphics::SDLRenderer.

CreateGUI()

virtual std::unique_ptr< AbstractGUI > Mochi::Graphics::IRenderer::CreateGUI ( FS::PackCatalog * catalog, Input::IActionManager * actionManager )

pure virtual

Creates (without ownership) the GUI system compatible with the renderer.

Parameters

catalog	The file catalog used for the GUI system to load files from.
actionManager	The action manager, used to manage UI interactions.

Returns

A unique pointer to the created gui system.

Implemented in Mochi::Graphics::DummyRenderer, and Mochi::Graphics::SDLRenderer.

CreateTextureFactory()

virtual std::unique_ptr< AbstractTextureFactory > Mochi::Graphics::IRenderer::CreateTextureFactory ( FS::PackCatalog * catalog ) const

pure virtual

Creates (without ownership) a texture factory of the type compatible with the renderer.

Parameters

catalog

The file catalog used for the factory to load files from.

Returns

A unique pointer to the created texture factory.

Implemented in Mochi::Graphics::DummyRenderer, and Mochi::Graphics::SDLRenderer.

FinishRendering()

virtual void Mochi::Graphics::IRenderer::FinishRendering ( ) const

pure virtual

Finishes a frame rendering.

Implemented in Mochi::Graphics::DummyRenderer, and Mochi::Graphics::SDLRenderer.

Render()

virtual void Mochi::Graphics::IRenderer::Render ( std::vector< RenderCommand > renderQueue, Camera * camera ) const

pure virtual

Actually renders the contents of the render queue projected on the camera.

Parameters

renderQueue	The vector of render commands to be drawn.
camera	The camera on which to project the rendering.

Implemented in Mochi::Graphics::DummyRenderer, and Mochi::Graphics::SDLRenderer.

StartFrameRendering()

virtual void Mochi::Graphics::IRenderer::StartFrameRendering ( ) const

pure virtual

Initializes a frame.

Implemented in Mochi::Graphics::DummyRenderer, and Mochi::Graphics::SDLRenderer.
