Ogre 3D 1.7

Time for action — creating a blank sheet

1. First we need to include ExampleApplication:

   #include "Ogre\ExampleApplication.h"
   

2. Create a new application class that inherits from ExampleApplication and has an empty createScene() function:

   class Example41 : public ExampleApplication
   {
   public:
   void createScene()
   {
   }
   };
   

3. Lastly, we need a main function that creates an instance of the application class and runs it:

   int main (void)
   {
   Example41 app;
   app.go();
   return 0;
   }
   

4. Compile this project with the same include and libraries directories as we did previously, and link the same libraries. You should get a black window which can be closed by pressing Escape.

What just happened?

We created a new application which inherits from ExampleApplication and does nothing. ...
