GameScene is a critical subsystem that is responsible for core functionality such as initialising other components, creating stages (world, title screen, etc.) and handling the game's main loop.

Unlike most other subsystems, GameScene is not a singleton: it is a member of the uking::frm::System structure.

Initial state

The initial state the game launches into is determined by GameScene.

const bool isFirstLaunch = SaveSystem::sInstance->isFirstLaunch();
State* state = isFirstLaunch ? &state_NewSave : &state_LunchTitle;

if ( aocManager::sInstance && aocManager::sInstance->flags & 2 )
  nn::err::ShowUnacceptableAddOnContentVersionError();

const bool isDemo = E3Mgr::sInstance && E3Mgr::sInstance->isDemoMode();
if (isDemo)
  state = &state_LunchTitle;

if (!isDemo && isFirstLaunch)
  sIsFirstNonDemoLaunch = 1;

StateMachine::changeState(&this->stateMachine, state);
