Description: The Game Loop Pattern is a fundamental design pattern in video game development that structures the lifecycle of the game to ensure efficient and smooth processing. This pattern is based on the idea that a game must follow a continuous cycle of updating and rendering, where user inputs are processed, game states are updated, and graphics are drawn on the screen. The typical structure of a game loop includes three main phases: input, update, and render. During the input phase, player actions, such as movements or commands, are captured. In the update phase, changes in the game state, such as character positions or collision logic, are calculated. Finally, in the render phase, all visual elements are drawn on the screen. This pattern not only improves processing efficiency but also allows for a smoother and more responsive gaming experience. Its relevance lies in the fact that it is the foundation upon which most modern video games are built, enabling developers to effectively manage the flow of information and user interaction with the game environment.
