I created a node class, but i got a problem since i want the node class integrated in my engine and i wanna link a node to every class eg:
nodes:
Root->Child->Child-> etc etc
Engine->Rendering->Gui etc etc
My question is: How do i link them. I can't create a pointer to the classes because the Rendering class isnt the same as the Engine class and because the nodes are uniform i can only point to one type of class from within a node. Any suggestions?
If you want do this you should make all those classes inherit from a basic node class. Then you can use it as such only without the nice names (rather GetParent(), GetChild(), etc, or you must create them explicitly). But why would you want it? There is no such parent/child relationship between an engine and its renderer or between a renderer and the GUI. Such relationships are reflected better by different designs.

Well its more like a tree, it shouldnt inherit anything from the parent, it should just be able to acces the parent and child directly.
Quite similar, although I get the feeling I'm missing your point:
You could construct it like this:
class CRenderer{ CEngine* m_pEngine;}You could construct it like this:
CEngine* pEngine = new CEngine();CEngine::CEngine(){ m_pRenderer = new CRenderer( this );}CRenderer::CRenderer( CEngine* pEngine){ m_pEngine = pEngine;}Quote:Original post by Illco

I think you've got a typo
shouldn't it be
CRenderer::CRenderer( CEngine* pEngine){ m_pEngine = pEngine;}?

Yeah thats a nice possibility.
Is it possible to point to any class like create some unbound pointer.
Like:
AnyClass * ptr;
ptr = new DefinedClass();
Or am i just being a noob :P

Well, you can, but 99 times out of 100 you don't want to. Think about it. If the pointer is untyped then how would you use it? Every time you wanted to use it you'd have to cast it to the correct type. And if you were ever wrong...
