    A1: Conceptual Architecture: Presents By: TBA

    Uploaded by

    api-377875723
    This document presents a conceptual architecture for the open source 2D platformer game SuperTux. The architecture was derived from the object hierarchy described on the SuperTux wiki and follows a layered design. Key subsystems include the user interface, game objects, level management, resources like physics and audio, and a hardware abstraction layer. The architecture aims to have high cohesion and low coupling between components while facilitating division of work among a development team. Concurrency considerations include separate threads for audio, graphics, and gameplay. Lessons learned include playing the game to understand it and using a layered design common in video games.

    Reference Architecture
    The reference architecture used:
    Game Engine Architecture

    Layered architecture

    Teams process for coming up with the


    conceptual architecture involved:

    playing SuperTux, and

    using the reference architecture to identify


    the unique subsystems

    Conclusion: Mix of layered and object-

    Advantages/Disadvantages
    Layered architectures facilitate user interfaces

    Our architecture has high cohesion and low coupling

    Objects can be encapsulated efficiently

    Ability to divide work of different subsystems within team

    Information and output from Audio and Graphics engines travel all the way
    back up the architecture to UI
    Concurrency
    Audio and graphics

    Graphics and gameplay

    UI and gameplay
    Lessons Learned
    Playing the game can be equally as valuable as researching about
    architectures

    Layered architectures are common in video games

    Do not spend too much time doing individual research as opposed to team
    discussions
    Thank You
    We will take any questions now
