Ogre 3D 1.7

Time for action — creating a class

Using the previously applied code we are now going to create a class to separate the Ogre code from the main function.

1. Create the class MyApplication, which has two private pointers, one to a Ogre 3D SceneManager and the other to the Root class:

   class MyApplication
   {
   private:
   Ogre::SceneManager* _sceneManager;
   Ogre::Root* _root;
   

2. The rest of this class should be public:

   public:
   

3. Create a loadResources() function, which loads the resources.cfg configuration file:

   void loadResources()
   {
   Ogre::ConfigFile cf;
   cf.load(«resources_d.cfg»);
   

4. Iterate over the sections of the configuration file:

   Ogre::ConfigFile::SectionIterator sectionIter = cf.getSectionIterator(); Ogre::String sectionName, typeName, dataname; while (sectionIter.hasMoreElements()) ...
