// Message to beginner C/C++ programmers about the meaning of the 'static' keyword:
|
||||
// In this demo code, we frequently use 'static' variables inside functions. A static variable persists across calls,
|
||||
// so it is essentially like a global variable but declared inside the scope of the function. We do this as a way to
|
||||
// gather code and data in the same place, to make the demo source code faster to read, faster to write, and smaller
|
||||
// in size. It also happens to be a convenient way of storing simple UI related information as long as your function
|
||||
// doesn't need to be reentrant or used in multiple threads. This might be a pattern you will want to use in your code,
|
||||
// but most of the real data you would be editing is likely going to be stored outside your functions.

// In this demo code, we frequently use 'static' variables inside functions.
|

// A static variable persists across calls. It is essentially a global variable but declared inside the scope of the function.
|

// Think of "static int n = 0;" as "global int n = 0;" !
|

// We do this IN THE DEMO because we want:
|

// - to gather code and data in the same place.
|
||||
// - to make the demo source code faster to read, faster to change, smaller in size.
|
||||
// - it is also a convenient way of storing simple UI related information as long as your function
|

// doesn't need to be reentrant or used in multiple threads.
|

// This might be a pattern you will want to use in your code, but most of the data you would be working
|

// with in a complex codebase is likely going to be stored outside your functions.

// ABOUT THE CODING STYLE OF OUR DEMO CODE

//-----------------------------------------
|
||||
// The Demo code in this file is designed to be easy to copy-and-paste into your application!
|
||||
// Because of this:
|
||||
// - We never omit the ImGui:: prefix when calling functions, even though most code here is in the same namespace.
