Object-Oriented Programming

Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a programming style where code is organized around "objects": combinations of data and associated logic. In OOP, you model game components (e.g., a Player object, Enemy, Level) as objects with properties and methods. The OOP paradigm serves solely to better structure programs. This is essential in game development, where projects quickly become complex and good structure is needed to maintain control.

Starting Points

Key Points

  • You apply OOP principles such as encapsulation (data hiding), inheritance, and polymorphism in the game code where relevant, to reduce duplication and logically group logic.
