Creational Design Patterns in Modern C++ - Game Implementation - Part IV

The video tutorial discusses the drawbacks of creating object instances from scratch in C, which can cause lag during gameplay due to animation loading. It explores the challenges of using copy constructors, such as the need for concrete objects and typecasting, leading to tight coupling. The tutorial introduces the prototype design pattern as a solution, allowing for polymorphic object copying without knowing the exact type. The implementation of the clone method in vehicle classes is detailed, and the benefits of the prototype pattern are demonstrated through testing and comparison with the old implementation.
