Let's first start off by creating an object pool for a simple class that we can create multiples of:
class GameObject
{
private:
// Character's health
int currentHealth;
int maxHealth;
// Character's name
std::string name;
public:
GameObject();
void Initialize(std::string _name = "Unnamed",
int _maxHealth = -1);
std::string GetInfo();
};So, this sample GameObject class contains a name of the object to identify it by and some example properties to make the class seem more game-object-like. Obviously, you can easily add more properties and the same principles apply. In this case, we have a function called Initialize, which provides both a set and reset of values for the class. Finally, I added in a GetInfo function to print out information about the class so we can verify that things are working correctly.
The implementation for the class will look something like this:
