Structures

Anyone can contribute to this wiki, so please feel free to correct any mistakes and add missing information! Silver C++ is a library for game development and anyone can use it and it is simple and easy to learn. It provides a variety of functions and components. Here, you will find information about the Silver C++ library.

Silver C++ uses a class-based architecture. class-based architecture, or CBA is a system design approach where the program is organized into classes that define objects and their interactions. Here is a simple diagram of CBA.

For example, here’s how the Workspace structure is implemented in Silver C++:

using World = std::unordered_map<int, std::shared_ptr<Actor>>;
extern World Workspace;

Here, World is a shorthand for std::unordered_map<int, std::shared_ptr>, where:

• int represents the object ID.
• std::shared_ptr<Actor> is a shared pointer to an Actor.
