The Facade pattern is an easy pattern to grasp because its name implies its purpose. The primary intent of the Facade pattern is to offer a simplified front-facing interface that abstracts the intricate inner workings of a complex system. This approach is beneficial for game development because games are composed of complex interactions between various systems. As a use case, we will write code that simulates the behavior and interactions of a vehicle's engine core components and then offers a simple interface to interact with the overall system.
The following topics will be covered in this chapter:
- Understanding the Facade pattern
- Designing a bike engine
- Implementing a bike engine
- A basic implementation of a vehicle's engine with the Facade pattern
This section includes a simplified version of the implementation of an engine...
