sf::RenderWindow reference main class availble gobally in second Class

[utan]

Hello there all,

 I am very new to CPP, but I have a question I couldn't get it settle searching..

private:

class Game {
private:
    sf::RenderWindow window;
public:

    Game() {
        this->window.create(sf::VideoMode(600, 500), this->name, sf::Style::Close);

        this->player(this->window);// instantiated window

    }
    Player player;
};

class Player {
private:
    sf::RenderWindow w;
public:
    Player(sf::RenderWindow& window)
        : w(window)
    {

        this->w; // window reference from Game class Available globally in Player Class this->w

    }
};

int main() {
        Game game;
        return 0;
}
 

I don't want to be passing reference of window on every class method in Player class and I don't want to pass it in main.cpp and pass it as reference from a normal object to both classes because I know works using the list initiator in the constructors.

Reverse the control so instead of the player operating on the render window, have your game state (or similar) use the player in combination with the window.
So instead of player.draw(window) you'd call window.draw(player), which can be achieved by deriving from sf::Drawable

Thanks a lot,

 But is not that I want to draw the player, instead I want to have some public functions in the Player class that are dependent of the intance the window and I dont want to pass it as parameter refence to all clases that I want to create..

What do those functions depend on of the window?

Hi,
 To get the size of the window mainly , i dont like passing reference and having a global reference of sf::window come handy i guess. I am still learning SFML.

If no doable the way i want then i will do it passing reference or passing any parameter taken from de SF::WINDOW
 Apreciate ur help
