MODULES: GAME - WORLD - INTERFACE - MISC_MEDIATOR

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Good day, to all thriving and non-thriving Corona developers alike,

(I fall somewhere in the “tween” myself at the time!)

As I am developing a card game, while determining possible MODULES that I could possibly use for compartmentalization, and, after having read many examples of, say, a

GAME_MOD

INTERFACE_MOD, and

]WORLD_MOD setup,

would it be overkill to have all three of those in a card game, AS WELL AS, a fourth

DEALER_MOD,

that would perhaps mediate between the world and the Game modules?

Or does this just simply add a third dumb “thumb” to my logic, or more “know-it-all-chiefs” to my already efficient tribe?

Or could this in fact, further shorten the code in the World module or game module?

Hi Chris,

Ultimately, it’s up to you how to organize your project. If your “dealer” operations are going to be extensive, like 10 functions or more, then it’s probably best to modulize them. If there are only 1 or 2 functions related to this, then you can probably keep them within the scene that uses them.

Take care,

Brent

P.S. - As a point of forum etiquette, may I ask you to keep your post titles in non-caps? It sort of gives the impression that you’re “shouting” and some community members may be bothered by that. Rest assured, developers and staff will still see your posts and assist you as normal. :slight_smile:

Most certainly, Brent. :slight_smile:

I assure you I had no intentions on grabbing such “CAPITALIZED” attention. Innocently, I never learned to write in cursive, and high school students always had fun with my choice of writing, strictly using all upper case letters! Teaches had to put up with it too, as I that is the way I chose to communicate. For some reason, lower case letters bugged me! lol

Many of the SUBJECT headings that I have made NEW TOPICS, were pasted right out of my own game code --COMMENTS! 

I do apologize for being myself. I do not wish to come across irksome. Never wanted to grab the attention that I naturally do.

I can only imagine the number of devs that may or may not hat have had something negative to say about my profile picture.

But that is me, through and through.

I appreciate your assistance and your concern for proper etiquette.

I humiliatingly admit, and regret that I am so overwhelmed with the volume of reading that is required of me to catch up with you PRO-DEVS, that reading the forum manual has slipped to the bottom of my priority list.

I will refrain from any further posts, until I have done so.

Thank you, again. I will refrain from all caps.

And thanks for your advice concerning MODULES, I will need quite a few functions for my game dealer.

I won’t lie, I feel offended, but I do not intend to offend.

A forum friend.

Hi Chris,

Of course you’re welcome in the community and we promote everybody to “be themselves”. I doubt that you offended anybody in particular. This is a very friendly and helpful community of developers (believe me, I’ve been moderating it for 3+ years now). Have fun, keep up the conversation, and enjoy the development process! :slight_smile:

Thanks, Brent.

I do realize, I have much to read, and little to say on the subject of Corona SDK, at least, at the moment.

I will pretend that this forum is one of my old, and trusted paper books, that only has to offer what is written, or posted in this case.

Once I have exhausted all entries that pertain to my questions, only then will I open my mouth. :slight_smile:

See you all soon.
