All Known Implementing Classes:

PlayPerspectiveBase, SimplePlayPerspective

public interface PlayPerspective
extends Perspective

Perspective for use when playing a roguelike game.

This API needs to be flexible enough to (helpfully) support a very wide range of possible screen setups. It might be good to provide some map based interface to register and access panels and cameras.

A PlayPerspective is inherently a display-oriented component. As such, it is necessary that PlayPerspectives be able to be swapped out without affecting the underlying game state or leaking memory.

One corollary of this is that the commands available to the player at a given point in time are managed by the GameContext, not the Perpsective.
