How Have the Specifications
Changed?
No changes
System Architecture
Entities Package
 Governs the main game loop
 Processes interactions between various
game entities and systems
 Interacts with the Graphics, Physics,
Audio, and AI bridges
Resource Package
 Handles creation/deletion of all game
resources (textures, sound files, etc)
 Allows only a single instance of each
resource
AI Package
 Abstracts AI algorithm used by Game
Entities
 Currently uses a Finite State Machine
Menu Package
 Handles creation/interaction of game's
menus and the player
 Includes Loading/Saving Games
 Setting Key maps
Graphics Package


Abstracts graphics rendering
implementation from the game engine
Currently uses OpenGL and Glut
Audio Package
 Abstracts Audio implementation from
main game engine
 Currently uses OpenAL and Alut
Physics Package
 Abstracts implementation of physics
simulation from the game engine
 Entity package will use data from
simulation
 Currently Uses OPAL (Open Physics
Abstraction Layer)
