Main initializaion

The function main is called automatically at the start of every game. The operations performed by main during initialization are as follows:

• Load SDL DLLs or SOs.
• Create the database, if any.
• Initialize SDL.
• Initialize the REPL.
• Autoload graphics resources.
• Call game-init if it has been defined (see below).

Main then proceeds to execute the game loop (see below).

Main game loop

The main game loop is executed in main, a function which is automatically called at the start of the game. The operations performed by main during the game loop are as follows:

• Pump SDL events (e.g. keyboard events, etc). Quits upon receiving the quit event from SDL.
• Render the root object.
• Draw the REPL.
• Call game-draw if it has been defined (see below).
• Update the display window.
• Setup the pathfinding grid for this step.
• Update the root object.
• Call game-update if it has been defined (see below).

User initialization

The game-init function may be provided by the user to define game-specific initialization behavior. If defined, it will be called automatically during game initialization (see above).

User draw step

The game-draw function may be provided by the user to define game-specific drawing behavior. If defined, it will be called automatically during the game loop (see above).

User update step

The game-update function may be provided by the user to define game-specific update behavior. If defined, it will be called automatically during the game loop (see above).
