Tasks

The task system is simple to use. To create a task, you can make a class extending diva.DTask:

import diva.task.DTask;

class DummyTask extends DTask {
    // Constructor.
    public function new() {}

    // Called when this task is registered.
    override public function init() {
        super.init();
        // Code here.
    }

    // Called when this task is updated.
    override public function update() {
        super.update();
        // Code here.
    }

    // Called when this task is destroyed.
    override public function destroy() {
        // Code here.
        super.destroy();
    }

    // Called when this task is able to draw.
    override public function draw() {
        super.draw();
        // Code here.
    }
}

There's also a function in DTask called basic(). This is left undocumented, because I don't know what it's for. If someone could let me know, that would be great.

Once you create your task, you can register and unregister it under a name as such:

Diva.taskManager.registerTask('DummyTask', new DummyTask());
Diva.taskManager.unregisterTask('DummyTask', destroy);

The destroy parameter under unregisterTask is if the task should have destroy() called on it or not.
