I somewhat support using an MVC structure even for a simple mobile game. If nothing else, it helps with an issue that plagues developers who haven't gotten bitten by it enough times: separating the display code from the game logic. I'll also say, though, to keep in mind that MVC, like all design patterns, exists to make your life easier.

Feb 13, 2017 · Since game engines arent usually build around mvc I can imagine there might need to build similar framework functionality for your(or existing) game engine. \$\endgroup\$ – wondra Commented Feb 13, 2017 at 18:58

Feb 13, 2020 · The game at the moment should be thought of as a local single (human) player game against AI's. The game controller holds the gameState, gameView and then the business logic to run the game. The business logic is essentially just a loop that loops over the players in turn telling each to pick a move, applying the move to the state and then ...

MVC, at some levels, is already used in game development. It's forced on it by the OS, which has different interfaces for input and graphics. Most games also have a few more instances of MVC in them, e.g. separating the physics and rendering and input threads.

Feb 13, 2020 · Imagine a turn-based tile game, that generally looks like Heroes' combat view. Except for the fact a player can choose any of his units to command. Our team is implementing the game according to MVC ...

May 10, 2017 · We need to create a board-game in Java for an University project and we have to use the mvc pattern for it. We found helpful to view this board game as a Finite State Machine, so we implemented a slight variation of the State pattern, where the context is the Controller and each state manipulates the model in different ways using commands from ...

You can see that it has similarities to MVC, but there are some differences. MVC typically does all 3 steps per action. The game loop takes all actions then does all updates then draws everything. MVC is typically reactive to input. The game loop does all three steps every frame whether there was input or not (ai always needs to update).

Using MVC in games (as opposed to web apps) always confuses me when it comes to the view. How am I supposed to keep the model agnostic of how the view is presenting things? I always end up giving the Model a position that holds x and y but invariably, these values end up being in units of pixels and that feels wrong. I can see the advantage* of ...

I'm developing an italian card game using the mvc pattern. I have the class GameFrame that contains the view. The user's card are buttons (JButton objects). I have 3 controllers: GameController: to control the game in general. Contains the game loop. HumanPlayerController: to control the user input
