Intro

Orx is a 2D oriented, data-driven, portable game engine focused primarily on ease of use.

This is the first release candidate for orx v1.0. If you find any bugs,
please report them at https://forum.orx-project.org/discussion/387]my other post[/url] for more information about what I want to do.

This is due to the strong coupling created by various 'CreateFromConfig' functions as well as most API functions relying on a config id so it can call 'CreateFromConfig'.

So, if I want to represent my data using json or xml, I will have to manually create everything from scratch.

A solution to that might be:

1). Create a resource manager that creates objects, graphics, animations, etc, for you based on a key.

In standard config it should remain the same way.

In json could be something like
'resources['graphics']['player']['images'][0]'

In XML could be something like
'resources/graphics/player/images[1]'


2). Create format handlers to interpret different formats for orx.


3). Change *CreateFromConfig functions so object creation / retrieval is delegated to the resource manager.

I don't know if this is a good idea, nor if it is compatible with current design or even if it is doable, but this is what makes sense to me.
