Engine

Engine

The Engine object is the main object that does all the initializing and deinitializing stuff. There may be only one instance of it at once. You should create a Engine object in your game startup code and remember to delete it at the end (tip: avoid using new/delete with Engine, so it can be destroyed automatically at the end of your game).

createWindow(const char* title, int width, int height, bool resizable)

Creates a game window.

Parameters:
title: the title of the window
width and height: the size of the window
resizable: determines if the window can be resized and maximized

Returns: a Window pointer. This object is handled automatically by the library, so you should not call delete on it

getTicks()

Returns: the number of ticks since the start of the game
