General-Purpose Applications and Packaging

Abstract

This chapter is dedicated for general-purpose (nongame) applications that can be developed using FXGL. These include business applications, graphical editors, and visualization tools. At a high level, a game application is not very different from a front-end business application. They both run in an infinite loop until the user exits the application. They both take input, update the application state, and finally render the state to the screen. To demonstrate that FXGL can be used for developing both game and nongame applications, we will cover a variety of simple demos.
