Detailed Description

An object in the game. The most basic class that all game classes should inherit from automatically.

Member Function Documentation

template<typename T >

std::shared_ptr<typename T::element_type> cpp_client::Base_object::as ( )

inlineinherited

Dynamically casts this object to another type. Returns nullptr if it cannot be converted to the type.

Returns

A pointer to the desired type, or nullptr if it could not be converted

template<typename T >

bool cpp_client::Base_object::is ( )

inlineinherited

Determines if this object is of the specified object type

Returns

true if the object is the object type, false otherwise

void cpp_client::chess::Game_object::log

(

const std::string &

message

)

adds a message to this _game_object's logs. _intended for your own debugging purposes, as strings stored here are saved in the gamelog.

Parameters

message

A string to add to this GameObject's log. Intended for debugging.

Member Data Documentation
