reset

Resets DragonRuby's internal state as if it were just started. args.state.tick_count is set to 0 and args.state is cleared of any values. This function is helpful when you are developing your game and want to reset everything as if the game just booted up.

def tick args
end

# reset the game if this file is hotloaded/required
# (removes the need to press "r" when a file is updated)
$gtk.reset

!> NOTE: args.gtk.reset does not reset global variables or instance of classes you have have constructed. If you want to also reset global variables or instances of classes when $gtk.reset is called. Define a reset method. Here's an example:

class Game
  def initialize
    puts "Game initialize called"
  end
end

def tick args
  $game ||= Game.new

  if args.state.tick_count == 0
    puts "tick_count is 0"
  end

  # if r is pressed on the keyboard, reset the game
  if args.inputs.keyboard.key_down.r
    args.gtk.reset
  end
end

# custom reset function
def reset
  puts "Custom reset function was called."
  $game = nil
end
