SYDE Engine Framework for creating small games to run inside the windows console
#include "pch.h"
#include "SYDEstdafx.h"
#include "SYDEScreenshot.h"
using namespace std;
using namespace Gdiplus;
//INITIALIZING VARIABLES
int windowWidth = 40;
const int windowHeight = 20;
Settings config("EngineFiles\\Settings\\configSettings.sc");
ConsoleWindow window(windowHeight);
//OTHER ASSETS
AssetsClass astVars;
//GDI VALUES
ULONG_PTR gdiplusToken;
GdiplusStartupInput startupInput;
//GAME VALUES
COORD start = { (SHORT)0, (SHORT)0 };
static const HANDLE hOut = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
Important Variables for running the framework
LPCWSTR title = L"Concerto";
SYDECredits::_GAMETITLE = "Concerto";
SYDECredits::_ORGANISATION = "Callum Hands \nIn Association With Freebee Games";
SetConsoleTitleW(title);
Example for setting variables for application name in window + splashscreens
config.volumeControl(0);
config.ColourPalette(hOut);
GdiplusStartup(&gdiplusToken, &startupInput, 0);
srand(time(NULL));
Example for config initialisation
Included are a couple of SYDEWindowGame classes that you can try out the framework with. In This Example, we're going to be using the Concerto.h file.
class Concerto : public SYDEWindowGame {
public:
Concerto() { Initialize(); }
virtual ~Concerto() {}
//DRAW
void Initialize();
void m_Button_Press();
ConsoleWindow window_draw_game(ConsoleWindow window, int windowWidth, int windowHeight) override;
private:
SYDETextBox m_TextBox = SYDETextBox(Vector2(4, 5), Vector2(10, 2), BLACK_BRIGHTWHITE_BG);
SYDELabel m_Label = SYDELabel("Test Text", Vector2(4, 10), Vector2(10, 1), BLACK, true);
SYDEButton m_Button;
//WE WANT TO START THE MENU AT y=1.
SYDEMenu _MENU = SYDEMenu(vector<SYDEButton> {
SYDEButton("Test Text", Vector2(0, 1), Vector2(10, 1), BLACK, true),
SYDEButton("New Text", Vector2(0, 2), Vector2(10, 1), BLACK, true)
});
string m_LabelText = "Test Text";
void(buttonPressFunc)() { m_Button_Press(); }
};Concerto is used for testing certain elements of the Engine, so there are a couple of functions in there that are not relevant for this example. The only function that is important for this example is the 'window_draw_game function'
ConsoleWindow Concerto::window_draw_game(ConsoleWindow window, int windowWidth, int windowHeight)
{
for (int l = 0; l < windowWidth; l++)
{
for (int m = 0; m < windowHeight; m++)
{
window.setTextAtPoint(Vector2(l, m), " ", WHITE_WHITE_BG);
}
}
return window;
}In this case, the window_draw_game function is setting each point of the window to be a solid white colour, with no text to display. This is good as a background template to draw assets over.
window = m_Label.draw_ui(window);
if (SYDEKeyCode::get('M')._CompareState(KEYDOWN))
{
_MENU.nextSelect();
}
We can call assets draw functions as well before returning the window, and also check for inputs
SYDETIME deltaTime;
deltaTime.initialise(std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::now());
Concerto m_Concerto;
SYDEGamePlay::initialize_window(hOut, window);
SYDEGamePlay::activate_bySplashscreen(astVars.get_electronic_chime_file_path(), start, hOut, window, windowWidth, windowHeight, artVars);
while (true)
{
window = SYDEGamePlay::play(&m_Concerto, start, hOut, window, windowWidth, windowHeight, deltaTime);
window.writeConsole();
SYDEFunctions::SYDESleep(30, SYDEDefaults::getDeltaTime());
}Inside our main function, we can initialize all of our variables and call up SYDEGamePlay::play_game or SYDEGamePlay::play to run the game.
