With the growing prevalence of virtual reality technology across industries like cinema, video animation, and gaming, game developers must cater to a wider range of players. Game engines serve as middleware, reducing the time spent on coding and improving productivity for creating video games. While mainstream game engines offer a plethora of customization options, certain developers may find themselves limited when it comes to controlling specific aspects of the game. Due to the lack of built‐in functionality in current game engines like Unity and Unreal, the author developed TRPGFramework, a lightweight framework based on Unity3D, to address some of these problems. The game framework consists of two main parts: ZGamework (overall framework) and BGamework (game‐specific framework). To enhance performance, scalability, and code reusability in the game development process, the entity‐component‐system structure is implemented. This approach increases maintainability and makes the code clearer, easier to expand, and debuggable. By creating a simple 2D RPG game for performance testing, we confirmed that the framework significantly improves code reusability and modularity, resulting in faster development time and increased efficiency for interactive applications and games. This framework is particularly useful for creating real‐time combat role‐playing games, which are some of the most complex games available today. Using entity‐component‐system principles, we developed a buff system and unit controller optimized to allow hundreds of intelligent units to fight on the same screen or thousands of non‐intelligent units to fight simultaneously.

“…They applied the Flyweight design pattern and found that the loading on memory was significantly reduced. Sepideh Maleki et al [19] studied the impact of five design patterns on four object-oriented programmings (OOP) features inheritance, polymorphism, dynamic binding, and overloading. They found that the flyweight design pattern remarkably improved performance and energy efficiency.…”

This research aims to demonstrate how the Flyweight design pattern enhances programmers' ability to develop mobile applications while being aware of memory consumption flexibly. By following the systematic approach to software development, the two Android applications have been designed using a class diagram based on two paradigms: general object-oriented programming and the Flyweight design pattern. Both applications are developed in Java and installed on a physical Android phone. Memory usage is monitored by using the Android Profiler and using programming. The results show that both Android applications consume almost the same amount of memory, given all classes or package classes. Therefore, applying the Flyweight design pattern to mobile software development does not affect memory usage and follows a professional software design.

“…The authors in [16] analyzed the effect of different well-known design patterns (e.g., Template Method, State, and Strategy) described in [17] on energy consumption and implemented alternative nonpattern solutions for comparison. Other approaches analyzed the impact of object-oriented programming features (e.g., polymorphism, inheritance, and operator overloading) and design patterns that use the features on energy efficiency while focusing on server systems [18] and embedded systems [19]. In summary, the related work presented above focuses on aspects of programming languages, e.g., memory management, as well as memory usage and the overall execution time.…”

The resource-efficient development of technical devices is one of the most important non-functional requirements regarding global warming. This applies especially to the growing field of the (Industrial) Internet of Things. The energy consumption of such systems must be minimized to ensure a long operational lifetime. The realization requires exploiting the possibilities of the complete system (microcontroller and external peripherals) by the software application. However, software engineers are often unaware of the energy-saving properties of the hardware platform. This paper introduces a novel software framework that aims to bridge the gap between the hardware level and the application level. It enables vertical control, i.e., consistent access across multiple software architectural layers. This paper describes the framework in terms of design patterns, shows an implementation based on the C++20 standard, and concludes with an evaluation using a popular hardware platform.
