Game Service
A game service is a game component that uses and interface to enforce a singleton pattern and make a single instance of a game component accessible to all other components.
A singleton is a class that only allows a single instance of the class to be created. A game service is not a true singleton as it uses a unique interface to identify and expose it at the game level.
A game service is a built in mechanism that allows a game to create and manage a single instance of a component ans allows other components access to the service.
Good candidates for a game service are.
- InputHandler
- GameConsole
- Profiling Service
- Scoreboard
Console Class
Separate IntroGameLibrary Project to help Encapsulate Reusable Code. IntroConsole.zip IntoGameLibrary.zip
IntoGameLibrary/GameConsole.cs To Add the Component to the Game we make an delclare in the game class Then we need to add the componnet to the Game Components Collection.
<csharp>
GameConsole gameConsole;
public Game1()
{
graphics = new GraphicsDeviceManager(this);
Content.RootDirectory = "Content";
gameConsole = new GameConsole(this);
this.Components.Add(gameConsole);
}
</csharp>
