nCine::Object class

#include <nCine/Base/Object.h>

Base class of all nCine objects.

Provides each derived object with a unique identifier and a run-time type tag (ObjectType) usable for lightweight type checks without RTTI.

Derived classes

class AudioBuffer

Fully decoded OpenAL audio buffer.

class IAudioPlayer

Interface for an audio player.

class SceneNode

Base node of the scene graph transformation hierarchy.

class Shader

GPU shader program usable by materials and drawable nodes.

class Texture

Image data uploaded to the GPU and sampled by shaders.

Public types

enum class ObjectType { Base = 0, Texture, Shader, SceneNode, Sprite, MeshSprite, AnimatedSprite, Particle, ParticleSystem, AudioBuffer, AudioBufferPlayer, AudioStreamPlayer }

Run-time type of an object.

Public static functions

static auto sType() -> ObjectType

Returns the static type of this class.

Constructors, destructors, conversion operators

Object(ObjectType type) explicit

Constructs an object of the specified type and assigns it a unique identifier.

~Object() pure virtual

Object(Object&& other) noexcept

Object(const Object& other) protected

Protected copy constructor used to clone objects.

Public functions

auto operator=(Object&& other) -> Object& noexcept

auto id() const -> unsigned int

Returns the unique object identifier.

auto type() const -> ObjectType
