CastleWindow

Declaration

type TCastleWindow = class(TCastleWindowBase)

Description

Warning: this symbol is deprecated: use TCastleWindowBase and create instance of TCastleViewport explicitly

Window to render everything (3D or 2D) with Castle Game Engine, with a default TCastleSceneManager instance already created for you. Add your game stuff (descending from TCastleTransform, like TCastleScene) to the scene manager available in SceneManager property. Add the rest (like 2D user-inteface) to the TCastleWindowBase.Controls property (from ancestor TCastleWindowBase).

You can directly access the SceneManager and configure it however you like.

You have comfortable Load method that simply loads a single 3D model to your world.

Note that if you don't plan to use the default SceneManager instance, then you should better create TCastleWindowBase instead of this class.

If you're looking for analogous Lazarus component (that does basically the same, but can be placed on a Lazarus form) see TCastleControl component.

This is deprecated, as such "window with default scene manager" is an unnecessary API complication. Use instead TCastleWindowBase and just add there a TCastleViewport with FullSize = true, it is trivial.

Load a single 3D model to your world (removing other models, and resetting the camera).

This is nice for simple 3D model browsers, but usually for games you don't want to use this method — it's more flexible to create TCastleScene yourself, and add it to scene manager yourself, see engine examples like examples/3d_rendering_processing/view_3d_model_basic.lpr .
