Creational Design Patterns in Modern C++ - Pooling Game Objects - Part I

The video tutorial introduces the object pool design pattern using a shooter game example. It explains the implementation of a missile class with attributes and methods to manage its lifecycle. The tutorial covers the game loop for handling missile events like firing, animation, and explosion, and discusses memory management using shared pointers. It highlights issues with repetitive object creation and destruction, leading to performance drawbacks. Finally, it introduces object pooling as a solution to reuse instances and improve game performance.

Summarize the main steps involved in the missile firing and animation process.

How can existing missile instances be reused instead of creating new ones?

What is the purpose of implementing a pool of missiles in the game?
