| Overview: | Coroutines are a revolutionary language feature that can express complex gameplay logic through direct, clear functions. C# and Lua programmers have had access to coroutines for over a decade, but most C++ developers don't realize that coroutines were recently added to C++! Coroutines are now available and production-ready on all major game platforms using the C++14 language standard.nnElliott, one of the programmers behind The Pathless, shares how he wrote the entirety of The Pathless' gameplay code using C++ coroutines, and demonstrates how easily they can be integrated into existing game projects. Elliott also introduces Giant Squid's MIT-licensed library to jump-start the integration process. Discover how easy it is to unlock this futuristic new programming paradigm with a minimum of risk and effort. |
