Overview

Warning
Game Framework is deprecated and no longer supported. We can't guarantee the stable work of the framework.

A Game Framework is a high-level system written in UnigineScript created for quick game development. It provides fast and handy interaction between 3 fundamental game logic concepts: Game, Level and Entity.

Technically, framework executes the following operations:

  • Associates Unigine nodes with Entities
  • Associates Unigine worlds with Levels
  • Initializes the Entity parameters with the Property file
  • Manages the objects for Entities
  • Provides global game context across all Levels
  • Executes the periodic call of the function and its automatic time spreading over several frames (required for logic optimization)
  • Provides an event handling system
  • Updates Entities in the most optimal way

Game Framework also includes a Game Framework Editor plugin, which can be helpful to:

  • Manage Game, Levels, Entities
  • Attach Entities to Unigine nodes and place them in the world (by a simple drag&drop operation)
  • Build the inheritance hierarchy for Entities
  • Generate Property files for Entities
  • Launch the Game quickly

To Start with Game Framework

Before starting to work with Game Framework, make sure that you are aware of the following Unigine engine sections:
