Prop props array

[RedM3tal]

i have one question, when we create the props array in the main function:

int main()
cut…
{
Prop props [2]{
Prop{LoadTexture (“nature_tileset/Rock.png”), Vector2{600.f,300.f}},
Prop{LoadTexture (“nature_tileset/Log.png”), Vector2{400.f,500.f}}
};
…cut

is the the object (istance of prop) build here or in the next range for loop cycle?

while (!WindowShouldClose())

cut…
for (auto pincopallo : props)
{
pincopallo.Render(Knight.getWorldPos());
}
…cut
in practice is the object constructed from time to time in pincopallo variable?
thanks

@RedM3tal

{
Prop props [2]{
Prop{LoadTexture (“nature_tileset/Rock.png”), Vector2{600.f,300.f}},
Prop{LoadTexture (“nature_tileset/Log.png”), Vector2{400.f,500.f}}
};

It is constructed here and two Prop objects are instantiated.

@RedM3tal

while (!WindowShouldClose())

cut…
for (auto pincopallo : props)
{
pincopallo.Render(Knight.getWorldPos());
}

pincopallo variable is used to iterate over the props array in this for-loop.

yes looking better, as explained int course, Prop{…} is the constructor
thanks you.

To be even more precise, a copy of the prop is assigned to pincopallo and that is used in the iteration of the for loop.

The fact that this is a copy isn’t that big of a deal, though. As we’re not interacting with the props directly and the code isn’t changing their properties.
