Hello JGO on occasion I get rather bored so I’ll choose something to program ;D
Tonight I’m trying to program a loading system for my game that will do the following:
Load my games resources (Textures, Maps, Objects etc…)
I would like to make this loading system ‘dynamic’, and by dynamic I mean I can always calculate the percentage of the loading process. (Which will hopefully depend on the # of objects being loaded)
Pseudo-code:
public void load() {
while(percentage < 100) {
// object by object, image by image load them
// all into memory.
percentage += some_formula;
}
}
So my question is:
How should I go about writing a dynamic loading system?
Notes:
of objects needing loading are predefined.
The loading process is occurring via a SwingWorker to update the GUI while loading.
If anybody could give me some advice or a snippet / pseudo code on how to go about this that would be great!
Thanks JGO
