Level Class

The level logic base class.

The Level class implementation can be found in the data/framework/game/level.h file.

void onRender ()

Virtual method, which is called after the render() call.

Entity createEntity (string type, string name = "")

Creates an entity of a specified type. This function checks presence of the entity of the specified type in the pool and returns such entity if exists; otherwise the function creates the new entity and loads a new node reference, which corresponds to the new entity class.

Description

Represents the onFlush() function.

Deletes an entity, but not a node reference.

int REMOVE_ENTITY_MODE_DELETE_NODE
