MVC is a great way to start, the model scales well to online and MMO games. Check out some of the architecture’s used in MMOs like EvE, WoW, and the like.
I’ve got some examples posted at pennymo.com from a presentation I gave on MMO architecture at MIGS 2008.

Great article, thanks!

Here’s another great article on Main() loop implementations, and separating game update from rendering and FPS:

Dudes,

Wouldn’t all these classes/objects that are needed to implement this pattern kind of slow down the update and draw of the game. I mean all these messages between objects and getting and setting values…

I read the article Sebastian suggested about Guerrilla Games and the MVC patten and they mention a certain overhead regarding this topic.

Will this overhead kind of slow down the update or drawing? In that case what would be the approach to deal with this. What you guys think about it?
