tida.runtime

Runtime is a fundamental module for building two-dimensional games. It is he who connects to the window manager of the operating system, initializes the sound device and loads the necessary libraries for the game. Also, it is able to store program arguments in itself, in order to pass them later to other functions.

How do I create a runtime?: Creating a runtime is quick and easy. There is a class, it has a static method , which allocates memory, and then calls the internal functions of the object to execute its functions. This is done in the following way:

import tida;

int main(string[] args)
{
    TidaRuntime.initialize(args);

    return 0;
}

As you can see, the program arguments are passed to the function. This is necessary in order to later use them outside the main function.

Also, the second parameter can be a list of libraries to load. All kinds of libraries that runtime can load are described in .

import tida;

int main(string[] args)
{
    TidaRuntime.initialize(args, [FreeType, OpenAL]);

    return 0;
}

Or you can use AllLibrary to say that you need to load everything, or WithoutLibrary that you need to load nothing.

Next, to take advantage of the runtime, you can refer to the runtime function, which will give the runtime object as long as you can do something. All actions are described in .
