Module ...
Represent a game A module should subclass it and initialize anything it needs to play inside
Functions
| _M:cancelCoroutine (id) | Ask a registered coroutine to cancel The coroutine must accept a "cancel" action |
| _M:commandLineArgs (args) | The C core gives us command line arguments |
| _M:defaultSavedFields (t) | Defines the default fields to be saved by the savefile code |
| _M:display (nb_keyframes) | Displays the screen Called by the engine core to redraw the screen every frame |
| _M:getCoroutine (id) | Get the coroutine corresponding to the id |
| _M:getPlayer () | Returns the player Reimplement it in your module, this can just return nil if you dont want/need the engine adjusting stuff to the player or if you have many players or whatever |
| _M:getSaveDescription () | Called by savefile code to describe the current game |
| _M:handleProfileEvent (evt) | Receives a profile event Usualy this just transfers it to the PlayerProfile class but you can overload it to handle special stuff |

| _M:leaveLevel (level, lev, old_lev) | Called when a zone leaves a level Going from "old_lev" to "lev", leaving level "level" |
| _M:onQuit () | Called by the engine when the user tries to close the window |
| _M:onResolutionChange () | Called when screen resolution changes |
| _M:registerCoroutine (id, co) | Add a coroutine to the pool Coroutines registered will be run each game tick |
| _M:registerDialog (d) | Registers a dialog to display |
| _M:registerDialogAt (d, pos) | Registers a dialog to display somewher in the stack |
| _M:registerThread (th, linda) | Save a thread into the thread pool Threads will be auto joined when the module exits or when it can ALL THREADS registered *MUST* return true when they exit |
| _M:replaceDialog (src, dest) | Replaces a dialog to display with an other |
| _M:run () | Starts the game Modules should reimplement it to do whatever their game needs |
