Detailed Description

Function Documentation

InfinityInit()

INFINITY_API_PUBLIC void InfinityInit

(

void

)

Initializes the Infinity Engine.

InfinityInit() must be called before using any other Infinity Engine functionality. It performs one-time initialization of core engine systems required for proper operation.

Initialization tasks performed:

• Registers all built-in types in the TypeRegistry
• Registers all built-in type converters for automatic type conversions
• Initializes internal engine subsystems
• Sets up runtime bridges (if available)

Call this function during application or library initialization, before creating any Infinity Engine objects or calling any engine functions.

Note

NOT THREAD-SAFE: Must be called from a single thread during initialization.

IDEMPOTENT: Calling multiple times is safe - initialization only happens once.

REQUIRED: Must be called before using any engine functionality.

Example usage:

int main() {
    // Initialize engine first
    InfinityInit();
    
    // Now safe to use engine functionality
    Infinity::Engine::InfinityCore core("project.infinitycore");
    auto system = core.getSystem("TerrainGenerator");
    system->execute();
    
    return 0;
}
 
// In a library initialization
void MyLibraryInit() {
    InfinityInit();  // Safe to call even if already initialized
    // ... rest of library setup ...
}
