Member Function Documentation

void Drawable::Deregister ( )

inlineprotected

Deregisters the class from being Drawn.

The DrawableManager keeps track of all Drawable GameObjects. Deregistering the current Drawable GameObject removes this object from the list of Drawables to be drawn by the DrawableManager.

virtual void Drawable::Draw ( )

inlineprotectedvirtual

Function which is called every draw frame.

This is a virtual function to be overriden by the user. The Draw() function will be called by the DrawableManager every draw frame as long as the current Drawable class is registered to be drawn (See the Register() and Deregister() functions).

virtual void Drawable::Draw2D ( )

inlineprotectedvirtual

Function which is called every draw frame for 2D elements.

This is a virtual function to be overriden by the user. The Draw2D() function will be called by the DrawableManager every draw frame as long as the current Drawable class is registered to be drawn (See the Register() and Deregister() functions). 2D elements are split from 3D elements to insure that the draw order is correct. Make SURE to use Draw2D when rendering 2D elements to the screen.

void Drawable::Register ( )

inlineprotected

Registers the class to be Drawn.

The DrawableManager keeps track of all Drawable GameObjects. Registering the current Drawable GameObject adds this object to the list of Drawables to be drawn by the DrawableManager.
