I have a problem with designing classes for my game which I create.
In my app, there is:
class CGame which contains all the information about game itself,
e.g. screen width, screen height, etc. In the main() function I
create a pointer to CGame instance.
class CGUIObject which includes fields specifying it's position and
draw() method, which should know how to draw an object according to
screen size.
class CGUIManager which is a singleton and it includes a list of
CGUIObject's. For each object in a list it just calls draw()
method.
For clarity's sake, I'll put some simple code:
class CGame
{
int screenWidth;
int screenHeight;
};
class CGUIObject
{
CPoint position;
void draw(); // this one needs to know what is a screen's width and height
};
class CGUIManager // it's a singleton
{
vector<CGUIObject*> guiObjects;
void drawObjects();
};
And the main.cpp:
CGame* g;
int main()
{
g = new CGame();
while(1)
{
CGUIManager::Instance().drawObjects();
}
return 0;
}
Now the problem is, that each CGUIObject needs to know the screen size which is held by CGame, but I find it very dumb to include pointer to CGame instance in every object.
Could anyone, please, tell me what would be the best approach to achieve this?
