Objects, Object Manager and objects in maps?

[SharQueDo]

Hi,

How would I create an Object Manager using vector/stack? And how would I put multiple objects in a map?

I'm thinking of this:

Code: [Select]

Map structure:

(int)map_width
(int)map_height
(int)[height*width]mapdata
while(!eof)
{
	(int)object_id (type)
	(int)object_x
	(int)object_y
	(int)object_state
}

Help please.

The object manager would contain a vector of objects.  Every game object you have should inheirit from this object class.  Each object should have an update() and a draw() method.  Update should move the object on the screen based on velocity, framerate, user input, etc.  It should also animate the object.  The draw() method should just draw the object to the screen based on vars the update() method has updated.  Then your object manager should just run through each object in the vector and call update().  After that is done, run thorugh each object and call draw().

Does this answer your question?

Here is some pseudo code:

Code: [Select]

class CObject
{
    virtual void Update() { }
    virtual void Draw() {}
}

class CEnemy: public CObject
{
    void Update() { //update the position and animation }
    void Draw() { //stuff to draw here }
}

class CPlayer: public CObject
{
    void Update() { //update the position and animation }
    void Draw() { //stuff to draw here }
}

void main()
{
    List<CObject> objectlist;

    CPlayer * player = new CPlayer();
    CEnemy * enemy = new CEnemy();

    List.Add(player);
    List.Add(enemy);

    for each(object in List)
    {
        object->Update();
    }

    for each(object in List)
    {
        object->Draw();
    }
}
