# Job Board
|
|
|
|
A job board is a class whos main function
|
|
is a map from pawns (IWorkers?) to jobs (IWorkables)
|
|
|
|
the intention is that a pawn or job does not know, itself
|
|
what its doing, but contacts the job board each frame
|
|
to get what its current job is.
|
|
|
|
when a IWorkable begins to have work, it may post itself
|
|
to the board, and when it is finished it will remove itself
|
|
from the board, by sending messages to the board.
|
|
|
|
IWorkers on the other hand, are able to request a job
|
|
from the board, and once they have it, will wimply ask
|
|
the board for its current job each from, to attempt to do
|
|
work. at some point, the board will simply start returning
|
|
null instead of the IWorker's current job. to is when the
|
|
worker knows it can move on to another action.
|
|
|
|
A Worker may also tell a job board, that it no longer
|
|
wishes to do work, and the job will be released.

# Mouse up / down bubbling
|
|
|
|
the events should still go through all layers,
|
|
and be allowed to be handled by any layer, if
|
|
that layer syas its handled.
|
|
|
|
problem: unknown operating order of right click
|
|
opening / closing the build panel. and its state
|
|
is controlled from 2 places.
|
|
|
|
the build layer can cancel and cause the panel
|
|
to close, but also the tab should be able to hook
|
|
into global mouse events for re-opening the panel.
|
|
|
|
opening has to be done from the build tab, because
|
|
it is the thing that activates the build layer.
|
|
|
|
consequence is that without proper care a single
|
|
event could immediately open & close the panel in
|
|
the same frame. so, the event should be able to
|
|
be captured and cease propogation.

# ready()
|
|
call order goes from top to bottom \/\/\/
|
|
ready is called before scene linkage, and
|
|
serves to initialize values that may be
|
|
needed before incoming requests.
|
|
|
|
# connect()
|
|
connect is solely for ensuring links to
|
|
other objects. get() and getAll()
|
|
|
|
# create()
|
|
create is guaranteed to only run once for
|
|
an object, even after save/load
|
|
|
|
# start()
|
|
start is called any time the object is added
|
|
to a scene |
