Detailed Description

A Game Object loaded in the scene.

Each game object is a node. However it also has its own position, rotation, and scale allowing it to be moved around in space.

Example

// Object of Focus
class CubeObject : public GameObject {
  public:
  Cube mesh;
  CubeObject() : GameObject("Cube") {
    Position = {0, 3, 4};
  }
 
  void Draw() override {
    Engine::Game::getInstance().GetRenderer().DrawMesh(&mesh, Position, Scale, Rotation);
  }
};
 
// Implementation
class CubeScene : public Scene {
  public:
  CubeObject cube;
  CubeScene() : Scene("CubeScene") {
    AddChild(&cube);
  }
};
