STL & Simple Physics
- Review the primary STL containers.
- Review memory management in C++ and the implications of using these containers.
- Explore the polymorphic object problem in STL in depth, and examine potential solutions
- Have explored an evolving model in some depth
- Understanding how elementary physics can be integrated---
Objectives
- Explore the primary stl sequences, associations and adapters
- Examine the implications of using inheritance and virtual functions with these containers
- Gain an understanding of the memory management implications of storing references in containers
- Use a simple auto pointer implementation to ease the burden of managing memory
- Explore the ptr_container library, and gain an understanding of how it manages memory in this context.
Objectives
- Review the approach to model load and rendering
- Refactor the existing classes into an 5 primary domains:
- scene
- physics
- model
- world
- utils
- Construct an application along these lines - illustrated by a forces applied to a cube
