Async I/O (File and Resource modules)

[iarwain]

Hey all,

I'm thinking about adding async resource loading (and writing) in orx. I wrote a quick bullet point list as an issue on bitbucket for it: https://bitbucket.org/orx/orx/issue/42/add-asynchronous-file-resource-access

Any comments/suggestions?

Thanks! =)

Hi Rom!

It's a nice idea ! I'm just trying/thinking to find some exemples of use. I suppose it can be use to load ressources while displaying an animate splashscreen, or to easily load next map tile map while playing the game. Do you think about others exemples ?

I suppose you're planning to add some loading event? That can be usefull to display something like a progress bar.

In case of writing, what do you have in mind ? Do you have an exemple for a "writing" task ?

Actually I don't have this need urgently but It can be a nice feature!

Cheers!

It's mostly for performance reasons. :)

And yes, it can be used to load resource while doing some screen animations, such as a progress bar or loading anim.

Yep, there would be some event notifications (Queued, Completed, ...).

In case of writing, what do you have in mind ? Do you have an exemple for a "writing" task ?

Things like savegames, screenshots, etc...

Yep, I think it could be very helpful to have a very smooth experience while cutting down on load times. :)

 

Cheers,
