cugl::scheduable Struct Reference

#include <CUApplication.h>

Public Attributes

std::function< bool()> callback
 
Uint32 period
 
Uint32 timer
 

Detailed Description

The storage type for all user-defined callbacks.

The application API provides a way for the user to attach one-time or reoccuring callback functions. This to allow the user to schedule activity in a future animation frame without having to create a separate thread. This is particularly important for functionality that accesses the OpenGL context (or any of the low-level SDL subsystems), as that must be done in the main thread.

To keep things simple, callbacks should never require arguments or return a value. If you wish to keep state, it should be done through the appropriate closure.
