| Jul 11, 2013 at 19:34 | comment | added | Dominik2000 | this thread is a little bit old, but I have exactly the same problem. I use OGRE and I try to use the best way, in my opinion option #4 is the best approach. I have build something like the Advanced Ogre Framework, but this is not very modular. I think I need a subsystem input handling which only get the keyboard hits and mouse movements. What I don't figure out is, how can I create such an "communication" manager between the subsystems? | |

| Apr 1, 2013 at 13:11 | comment | added | Inisheer | Adding as a comment since I don't know if it's a best practice. I have a central GameManager which is composed of subsystems such as InputSystem, GraphicsSystem, etc. Each subsystem takes the GameManager as a parameter in the constructor and stores the reference to a class private member. At that point, I can refer to any other system by accessing it through the GameManager reference. | |
