> Can't I simply create module libraries and call them from my main app
Yes, you can, assume all you need to do is create a single compilation
unit. But that doesn't address any communication issues between clients and
client-server.
Also, instead of doing it like you have, maybe consider multiple entry
points, one for each game. Each game would have its own module
configuration, then have an extra module that includes all of the other
ones. Then compile ONLY the extra module (which includes everything
anyway), and deploy that.
Each game would have any entry point that looks like this...
class PortalClient implements EntryPoint {
Game1Module game1;
onModuleLoad() {
if (isSelectedGame1) {
game1 = new Game1Module();
game1.showPanel();
game1.play();
}
}
All of the entry points will run, but only the one(s) where the if condition
is true will actually do anything.
And if this makes the compiled code a bit large, use a few split points so
that the needed game code is only loaded when the condition is true.
In any case, overall the combined compiled code will be smaller than the sum
of the parts, since shared code like collections will only included once.
