... mentioned previously, Syga-PI3D is designed to interface Symbian OS and OpenGL ES hiding their implementation and providing abstract layer for programmers independent from any UI framework, as shown in Figure 1. As we will expand upon in a latter section Syga-PI3D uses the Window Server (WSERV) of Symbian OS directly, without any specific UI-dependencies to build game environments (GameEnv). ...

... game entry point starts in CApplicationContainer class, for a particular application called "Application" thus the name CApplicationContainer, where CGameEnv should be instantiated by the programmer. With the aid of functions in CGameEnv he can set game timer, represented in CPeriodic which is a timer API of Symbian OS, set OpenGL states via COGLESEnv which communicates with OpenGL ES API in the operating system level (Figure 1), and selects which tree structure to use, either CQuadSpacesTree or CLinearSpacesTree. ...

The floating window technique is commonly employed by stereoscopic 3D filmmakers to reduce the effects of window violations by masking out portions of the screen that contain visual information that doesn’t exist in one of the views. Although widely adopted in the film industry, and despite its potential benefits, the technique has not been adopted...
Although Domain Analysis (DA) is important for Model Driven Development (MDD), traditional DA methods are demanding and not practical in many situations. When computer games are developed, game design (problem domain) is usually decided in a gradual way within iterations where software prototypes are constructed and playtest are performed. In such...
