Libraries.Game.GameStateManager

The GameStateManager is an internal class, used by the game engine to communicate between Quorum and plugin code. Most users will never have to interface with this class directly.

This action compares two object hash codes and returns an integer. The result is larger if this hash code is larger than the object passed as a parameter, smaller, or equal. In this case, -1 means smaller, 0 means equal, and 1 means larger. This action was changed in Quorum 7 to return an integer, instead of a CompareResult object, because the previous implementation was causing efficiency issues.

Example Code

Object o
        Object t
        integer result = o:Compare(t) //1 (larger), 0 (equal), or -1 (smaller)

This action determines if two objects are equal based on their hash code values.

Example Code

use Libraries.Language.Object
        use Libraries.Language.Types.Text
        Object o
        Text t
        boolean result = o:Equals(t)

This action returns the AccessibilityManager that is being used across the Game.

This action returns the application stored by the plugins.

This action returns the current Item that is focused.

This action returns the FocusManager which is being used across the Game.

This action returns the FontManager which is being used across the Game.

This action returns a reference to the Game class.

This action returns the GraphicsManager stored by the plugins.

This action gets the hash code for an object.

Example Code

Object o
        integer hash = o:GetHashCode()

This action returns a GameInput object that is stored in the plugins.

This action returns the identifier for the main thread. Any work that interacts directly with teh graphics system, including adding or removing items from the game, must be done on the main thread -- otherwise, an error will occur.

This action returns the path of the native file loaded by the engine.

This action returns a text flag indicating what operating system the game is running on.

The IsDisplayAvailable action returns whether or not a display is available to draw on. If no display is available, actions that try to create or draw graphics (such as loading a Drawable) will create an error. This will return false if called before StartGame() is called in the Game class, and will typically return true after the game has been started.

This action sets the Accessibility to be used across the Game.

This action is used by the engine to set the game's application info in the plugins.

This action sets the focus on the given item.

This action sets the FocusManager to be used across the Game.

This action sets the FontManager to be used across the Game.

This action is used by the engine to store a reference to the currently running Game class.

This action is used by the engine to set the game's display info in the plugins.

This action is used by the engine to set the game's graphics manager in the plugins.

This action sets a GameInput object to be stored in the plugins.

This action sets the identifier for the main thread. Any work that interacts directly with the graphics system, including adding or removing items from the game, must be done on the main thread. This is set automatically by the game engine, and users should never need to call this directly.

This action sets a path to the native file used to load the engine's C plugins. After setting the path, the engine will load the native file.

This action sets a flag in the plugins indicating what operating system the game is running on.
