Creating the application class

It would be difficult to maintain a cluttered window entry function. Instead, you need to create an abstract Application class. This class will contain some basic functions, such as Initialize, Update, Render, and Shutdown. All of the code samples provided for this book will be built on top of the Application base class.

Create a new file, Application.h. The declaration of the Application class is provided in the following code sample. Add this declaration to the newly created Application.h file:

#ifndef _H_APPLICATION_
#define _H_APPLICATION_
class Application {
private:
    Application(const Application&);
    Application& operator=(const Application&);
public:
    inline Application() { }
    inline virtual ~Application() { }
    inline virtual void Initialize() { }
    inline virtual void Update(float inDeltaTime...
