How du you do? 'Bout globals
Author
I''m just wondering, I''m having a hard time deciding how to do =)
For example; if you are to use a vertex buffer in your d3d app, where would you declare it? As a global, or local whenever you instantiate it?
// globals
IDirect3DVertexBuffer8 *d3dVBuffer = NULL;
...
initd3d()
{
d3dVBuffer = CreateBuffer(yadayada);
}
OR
initd3d()
{
IDirect3DVertexBuffer8 *d3dVBuffer = NULL;
yadayada CreateVertexBUffer(...);
}
Hope you get it =)

choose global, it never goes out of scope, so u can be sure u wont lose it. Plus when ur pointer goes out of scope, the memory is still active, so if u forget to delete it, ur ram gets clogged up with vertex buffers!
just some advice,

How about an Application class? The globals would become private member variables, and functions like init, frame, shutdown, etc, would become member functions.

Thanks for the advices! So globals all along it will be 
As I initially started off.
About that App class; yeah I''ve given it a try before and I''ll do it once more, but later on..
Thanks

Erm, I think you should read Yratelev''s post again. You may have missed something: i.e. sarcasm
