Gloam.Runtime

High-performance game host and runtime for Gloam roguelike engine

Overview

Gloam.Runtime provides the core runtime infrastructure for roguelike games, featuring a DryIoc-based dependency injection host, optimized game loop, scene management, and layer rendering services.

Features

  • Game Host: GloamHost with DryIoc container integration
  • Optimized Game Loop: High-precision timing with configurable render steps
  • Scene Management: Smooth scene transitions with easing effects
  • Layer Rendering: Priority-based layer system for complex rendering scenarios
  • Service Configuration: Comprehensive runtime configuration system

Quick Start

using Gloam.Runtime;
using Gloam.Runtime.Config;

// Create and configure the game host
var hostConfig = new GloamHostConfig
{
    RootDirectory = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory(),
    EnableConsoleLogging = true
};

await using var host = new GloamHost(hostConfig);

// Initialize and run
await host.InitializeAsync();
await host.RunAsync(new GameLoopConfig
{
    KeepRunning = () => true,
    RenderStep = TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(16) // 60 FPS
});

Game Loop Architecture

The runtime implements a flexible game loop with precise timing:

  • Uses Stopwatch.GetTimestamp() for high-precision timing
  • Supports both real-time and turn-based gameplay modes
  • Integrated input polling with IInputDevice.Poll() and EndFrame()
  • Layer-based rendering with LayerRenderingManager.RenderAllLayersAsync()

Key Components

  • Host: GloamHost - Main application host with DI container
  • Configuration: GloamHostConfig, GameLoopConfig, RuntimeConfig
  • Scene Management: Scene registration and transition system
  • Layer Rendering: LayerRenderingManager for priority-based rendering

Performance Features

  • DryIoc Container: Optimized for high-frequency object creation
  • Memory Efficient: Minimal allocations during game loop
  • Service Lifetime: Proper scoping for game loop operations
  • High-Precision Timing: Frame timing utilities with nanosecond accuracy
