Game Design

This game was made for fun but also to practice multithreading in C++ and implementing various OOP design patterns.

General

There are 3 threads which handle the different parts of the game:

• the rendering thread handles rendering the game window at a rate of about 60 fps,
• the event thread handles interpreting user input once every 50ms,
• the game thread updates the game state once every 60 fps.
