XNA IScreen code
Published on 26 August 2011 at 23:13 by
I have been doing some XNA, and in order to utilise some sort of game screen system without using a Microsoft version, I've created this. Some parts have been borrowed from the internet, such as ServiceExtensionMethods, but it works very well.
IScreen.cs
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework;
namespace IScreenSystem
{
public interface IScreen
{
void Update(GameTime gameTime);
void Draw(GameTime gameTime);
}
}
ServiceExtensionMethods.cs
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework;
namespace IScreenSystem
{
static class ServiceExtensionMethods
{
public static void AddService<t>
(this GameServiceContainer services, T service)
{
services.AddService(typeof(T), service);
}
public static T GetService<t>(this GameServiceContainer services)
{
return (T)services.GetService(typeof(T));
}
}
}
VariableService.cs (Edit: removed IVariableService as it wasn't needed)
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Content;
namespace IScreenSystem
{
public class VariableService
{
public Game Game { get; set; }
public GraphicsDeviceManager Graphics { get; set; }
public GraphicsDevice GraphicsDevice { get; set; }
public ContentManager Content { get; set; }
public SpriteBatch SpriteBatch { get; set; }
public IScreen CurrentScreen { get; set; }
}
}
TestScreen.cs
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Audio;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Content;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.GamerServices;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Input;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Media;
namespace IScreenSystem
{
class TestScreen : IScreen
{
private VariableService vars;
public TestScreen(Game game)
{
vars = ServiceExtensionMethods
.GetService<variableservice>(game.Services);
}
public void Update(GameTime gameTime)
{
// to change screen, simply
// vars.CurrentScreen = new TestScreen(vars.Game);
}
public void Draw(GameTime gameTime)
{
vars.GraphicsDevice.Clear(Color.Black);
}
}
}
Game1.cs
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics;
namespace IScreenSystem
{
public class Game1 : Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Game
{
private VariableService vars;
private GraphicsDeviceManager graphics;
public Game1()
{
graphics = new GraphicsDeviceManager(this);
Content.RootDirectory = "Content";
}
protected override void Initialize()
{
base.Initialize();
}
protected override void LoadContent()
{
ServiceExtensionMethods.AddService<variableservice>
(this.Services, new VariableService());
vars = ServiceExtensionMethods
.GetService<variableservice>(this.Services);
vars.Game = this;
vars.Content = Content;
vars.Graphics = graphics;
vars.GraphicsDevice = graphics.GraphicsDevice;
vars.SpriteBatch = new SpriteBatch(GraphicsDevice);
vars.CurrentScreen = new TestScreen(this);
}
protected override void UnloadContent() { }
protected override void Update(GameTime gameTime)
{
vars.CurrentScreen.Update(gameTime);
base.Update(gameTime);
}
protected override void Draw(GameTime gameTime)
{
GraphicsDevice.Clear(Color.CornflowerBlue);
vars.CurrentScreen.Draw(gameTime);
base.Draw(gameTime);
}
}
}
