Detailed Description

A wrapper class for a texture for the game engine.

The class takes a path to the texture (preferrably along Assets/), and prepares the texture to be loaded into the GPU. When the game is ready to use the texture via GetTexture(), the texture is loaded into the GPU to be used by the game engine.

Example

Engine::Graphics::Texture texture("Assets/placeholder.png");
 
class TestObject : public Engine::Node {
  void Draw() override {
    Engine::Game::getInstance().GetRenderer().UseTexture(texture, GL_TEXTURE0);
    Engine::Game::getInstance().GetRenderer().DrawMesh(&mesh);
  }
};

The texture is not loaded into the GPU until GetTexture is called.

Parameters

path	The path to the texture

Member Function Documentation

GetTexture()

unsigned Engine::Graphics::Texture::GetTexture

(

)

Returns the id of the texture.

This is the id of the texture that is loaded into the GPU according to the renderer. When constructed, the texture is not loaded in immediately, but rather when GetTexture is called.
