I have a 3D animation that I Would like to output to different file formats such as .BVH, .FBX...
What is the design pattern that is suitable for implementing this kind of functionality ?
Would the factory design pattern work ? Why and why not.
Thanks
I think what is important is the design instead of the pattern name. I think what you need is a kind of adapter:
public interface IAnimationFormat {
void Save(Animation animation);
}
public class Bvh : IAnimationFormat {
public void Save(Animation animation){
...
}
}
public class Fbx : IAnimationFormat {
public void Save(Animation animation){
...
}
}
You could also add Load methods and stuff.
It's not either Builder or Factory. It looks like the Strategy pattern.
You should consider Builder & Factory pattern for this context.
I would use the observer pattern. Say you have observable class A and observers Class C and D. Click SAVE on A, raise and event to inform B, C, ....any more observers to perform the SAVE action.
