Detailed Description

The main class of mElite, which is an extension of the general OpenGLApplication class.

Contains as members all elements that are contained in the game, such as world objects and and GUI objects. Has functions to show and update them.

Member Function Documentation

void App::deinitialize ( void )

virtual

De-initialises this object and frees any resources it is using.

Implements OpenGLApplication.

Definition at line 129 of file App.cpp.

void App::draw ( void )

virtual

Draws the scene.

If the player is dead, the end screen is shown except developer mode is active. In this case, the came continues. Mainly the function is a long switch statement for the different game modes. Then appropriate methods are called.

Implements OpenGLApplication.

Definition at line 153 of file App.cpp.

Frustum * App::getFrustum ( void )

Gets the frustum.

Returns: The frustum.

Definition at line 2533 of file App.cpp.

GLUquadricObj* App::getQuadricObject ( )

inline

Definition at line 75 of file App.h.

bool App::initialize ( void )

virtual

Initializing of the application.

Mainly the OpenGL-System is initialized. Objects, textures are loaded and some needed objects, e.g. for printing, are initialized. This happens everytime the window is created, that means it happens also if the application toggles between fullscreen and windowed mode.

Returns: true if it succeeds, false if it fails.

Implements OpenGLApplication.

Definition at line 1575 of file App.cpp.

void App::loadAllNeededTextures ( )

Loads all needed textures into the textureslots, exclusive planets.

Planets are loaded in loadSystemTextures. If special color mode is active, the colors are swapped.

Definition at line 2292 of file App.cpp.

void App::loadSystemTextures ( )

Loads textures for the current system.

Called whenever a hyperjump has been performed. In developer mode, detailed information on the loaded files is given, otherwise only a percent information.
