[QUOTE=Dr Magnusson;50111673]How'd you do this? I've approached this problem from what feels like 20 different angles, and no matter what I couldn't seem to find a way to draw to the background without erasing the icons. Do you have a repository somewhere I can take a look at?[/QUOTE]

I read an article a little while back ill see if I can post it when I find it. Basically you trick windows into thinking you switching the desktop background so it creates a worker window which separates the icons from the desktop ready for the transition that happens (on windows 10 that is). Then I just create a form and that parent it to that worker window so then I have a form on the desktop. You cannot interact with it because of course its in the background but it still renders and updates find, So I just used OpenTK and created the control on the form then scaled to the screen resolution.

That being said it probably made no sence because im awful at explaining things.

Oh also FPS measurement.

I am currently using a state-based way to control what happens in the program. So I have a global variable cMode which can have these values:

enum cameraMode{
	cameraModeVideo,
	cameraModeReconstruct,
	cameraModeFFT,
	cameraModeViewStoredFrame
};

I then have keypress callback functions that modify this variable accordingly. My mainloop has a bunch of if-elses that check which mode is currently active. I have no idea if this is the right way to do it, but it seems to work. I am worried though that adding modes (also different state variables that might influence the main loop) will make it a complete if-else-switch mess.

Change your enum to

enum cameraMode{
	cameraModeVideo,
	cameraModeReconstruct,
	cameraModeFFT,
	cameraModeViewStoredFrame,
        cameraModeMax
}

and cycle between 0-(Max-1)

That being said, there are a ton of optimizations you can't do with dynamic typing. Though I imagine the impact isn't that great.

Started working on a game engine. I'm trying to make it modular and with entity-component hierarchy.

By modular I mean make it as easy as possible to swap middleware. Currently I'm doing implementations for SFML as middleware, since all I need right now is 2D rendering, sounds and input.

Here's some example code on how it is used in game code.

Setup:
[cpp]
WEngine engine;

engine.assetDatabase()->setAssetFolder("../assets", true);
engine.assetDatabase()->load();

engine.addModule(new WSFMLInputModule());
engine.addModule(new WSFMLRuntimeModule());
engine.addModule(new WSFMLRenderModule());
engine.addModule(new WSFMLAudioModule());

WScene *scene = new WScene();

WEntity *camEnt = new WEntity("Camera");
camEnt->addComponent<WCamera>();
scene->addEntity(camEnt);

WEntity *headEnt = new WEntity("Head");
auto sprite = headEnt->addComponent<WSpriteComponent>();
sprite->setTexture((WTextureAsset*)engine.assetDatabase()->findAssetByPath("/character-head.png"));
auto testC = headEnt->addComponent<WTestComponent>();
testC->swordOffset = FVector3(75, 60, 0);
scene->addEntity(headEnt);

WEntity *swordEnt = new WEntity("Sword");
sprite = swordEnt->addComponent<WSpriteComponent>();
sprite->setTexture((WTextureAsset*)engine.assetDatabase()->findAssetByPath("/sword.png"));
sprite->priority = 1;
scene->addEntity(swordEnt);

engine.loadScene(scene);

engine.run();
[/cpp]

Test component update code:
[cpp]
void WTestComponent::update(float deltaTime)
{
BaseClass::update(deltaTime);

if(WEngine::instance()->inputModule()->keyPressed(WKeyCode_Escape)) {
WEngine::instance()->stop();
}

if(WEngine::instance()->inputModule()->keyDown(WKeyCode_D)) {
FVector3 moveDir = entity()->right();
entity()->setPosition(entity()->position() + moveDir * movementSpeed * deltaTime);
}

if(WEngine::instance()->inputModule()->keyDown(WKeyCode_Right)) {
entity()->localTransform.rotation.z += 90.f * deltaTime;
}
if(WEngine::instance()->inputModule()->keyDown(WKeyCode_Left)) {
entity()->localTransform.rotation.z -= 90.f * deltaTime;
}

if(WEngine::instance()->inputModule()->keyPressed(WKeyCode_Space) && mSword) {
if(mSwordPicked) {
mSword->setParent(0);
mSwordPicked = false;
}
else {
mSword->setParent(entity());
mSword->setLocalPosition(swordOffset);
mSword->setLocalRotation(FAngle::zero);
mSwordPicked = true;
}
}
}
[/cpp]

Result:

Not a very fancy example, but I am glad I got matrix translations somewhat working, although scaling still has some issues.

You should get yourself patched, I definitely write, debug, and run much faster when using Lua as opposed to C++

But C++ is low level static-typed language meanwhile Lua is high level dynamic-typed language.

So you need to compare high-level static typed with high-level dynamic typed language.

If you're afraid of having genuinely crappy code linked to your name or online persona or whatever, I'd be 100% okay with an anonymous rar or zip or something, no explanation or project file needed, just a raw code dump is fine.

C# can have long compile times as well. Debugging is easier than C++ though but I've written C++ faster than C# because I'm used to it :v:
I'd consider C++ high level, though.

I was about to comment this on your original post, but then decided against it :v:

A lot of the existing libraries probably don't support it at all, since node's single-threaded (and without coroutines utterly horrible) continuation environment makes some guarantees regarding state integrity during code segments even without atomic operations and explicit synchronisation.
It's normally really easy to put in semaphores where absolutely necessary and to avoid the issue elsewhere though. That and most web applications are (hopefully) (a)synced on DB transactions anyway so there wouldn't really be an issue in the problem semantics.
