Data structures pertaining to the graphics (presentation, rendering) system of WARTBED.

Terrain

WARTBED should be capable of handling both model-based (f.i. Dark Omen) and heightmap-based (f.i. Myth) terrains.

namespace wartbed
{
    namespace ogre
    {
        class Terrain
        {
        };

        class HeightMapTerrain : public Terrain
        {
        };

        class ModelTerrain : public Terrain
        {
        };
    }
}

Units

WARTBED should be capable of handling both sprite-based (Dark Omen and Myth) regiments and model-based ones. Further, regiments should be able to handle mixed-type units, enabling simultaneous use of sprites and models in the same regiment (allowing for gradual replacement of sprites etc).

namespace wartbed
{
    namespace ogre
    {
        class Unit // unit of the rendering engine 
        {
            wartbed::Unit *pUnit; // the game engine unit
        };

        class SpriteUnit : public Unit
        {
        };

        class ModelUnit : public Unit
        {
        };
    }
}
