GameScene

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.

GameScene

Subsystem
Official name	Yes
Description	Handles the main loop and stages
Init function	Switch 1.5.0: 0x71007D1DD8 Wii U 1.5.0: ???
Debug only	No

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);

States

NewSave

Entered on the first boot or when the new game option is selected. The associated state string (GameScene @ 0x720) is "初回シーケンス" ("initial sequence").

Main loop

Three GameScene functions are called in a row from RootTask (see Executable) after initialisation has completed, i.e. in the game's main loop. (Note: these 3 names are unofficial.)
