10 Questions
What does it mean to render objects as many times a second as the game speed?
Objects are updated multiple times per second to reflect their dynamic behavior.
How does the game loop handle the rendering of objects?
A blank frame is prepared at the beginning, followed by rendering each object sequentially.
Why does an object's position at game loop n+1 differ from its position at game loop n?
As a result of continuous movement causing position changes between loops.
What is the purpose of repeating the game loop 60 times per second?
To make the ball's position change slightly from frame to frame, creating an illusion of movement
How is the new position of the ball calculated in the game loop?
Based on a vector that specifies how the position changes along each axis
What happens at the beginning of each game loop?
The display screen is deleted, then the background is displayed, and finally the ball is displayed at its new position
Why is it important for a game to be real-time?
To give the illusion of concurrent events happening at the same time
How does a game achieve the illusion of concurrent events?
By dividing the game loop into 60 pieces per second
What is the role of the game loop in executing concurrent events?
To control concurrent events by repeating iterations every 16.66 milliseconds
Why are game events considered pseudo-parallel?
Because each event happens at a fixed interval of 60 times a second
