[@federicoriva7928]

Really great explanation but there's one thing that i still don't get: when you talk about Enemy* enemy = new Enemy(), you say at 8:30 that "an object is a pointer to something in memory" and immediately afterwards you "all we have is a pointer to an object". So we have an object, enemy, allocated in stack which is pointing to an object allocated in heap? Why enemy is considered also an object and not just a pointer to an object? In simple words, is a pointer to an object considered to be an object?

[@kamens793]

Not really, objects and pointer of a object are two different things. When you create a object with the key word new ( Enemy* enemy = new Enemy() ), your are doing two things: 1- Allocating memory on the heap for that object. 2- Asigning the address of that memory allocated to a variable called enemy. The variable enemy only contain the address, everytime you call it it will only point to the location of the object in the heap (That's why is called pointer).

@@kamens793 So to say, pointer is a reference path?

Could you upload the 3d software renderer with C language to Udemy? I love the platform there
