Designing a Game Object

Introduce yourselves!

Icebreaker: Who is your favorite Nintendo game?

Groupwork

Design a game object class for a game engine (e.g., Dragonfly).

Use an Object-Oriented approach.

    class Object {

      // Attributes
      private:

      // Methods
      public:

    };

1. Questions:

   1. What basic state does it need to keep track of? Consider core attributes for game engine code versus game-specific attributes for game code

      Hint: consider locating objects

      Hint: consider identifying objects

      Hint: consider consider seeing objects

   2. What methods are needed?

2. Based on the answer for 1A), what other class should be designed?
