Structural Design Patterns in Modern C++ - Game Implementation - Part II

The video tutorial discusses the memory issues caused by data duplication in game development and introduces the flyweight design pattern as a solution. It explains how to refactor code to implement the flyweight pattern, focusing on separating intrinsic and extrinsic states. The tutorial also covers creating a factory to manage flyweight instances and demonstrates the code changes needed to optimize memory usage. The implementation results in reduced memory consumption by sharing intrinsic states among multiple instances.

Describe how the position of each tree is handled differently from the mesh and texture.

What changes were made to the vegetation class to implement the Flyweight pattern?

In what way does the implementation ensure that multiple instances of trees can share the same intrinsic state?
