🎹 Templates ☑️

MainWindow.cpp - Definition

template <class T>
void MainWindow::checkPressed(T &obj)
{
    try

            obj.press(true);
    }
    catch (std::exception &e)
    {
        std::cerr << e.what();
    }
}

MainWindow.cpp - Usage

if (activeKey == nullptr)
  {
      // Button click logic :D
      checkPressed<ButtonRecord>(buttonRecord);
      checkPressed<ButtonLoad>(buttonLoad);
      checkPressed<ButtonPlay>(buttonPlay);
  }
  else
  {
      activeKey->setPressed(true);

      Recorder::log("down", activeKey->getId());
  }

🎹 Smart pointers - minim 1 tip / proiect ☑️

Piano.cpp

static std::shared_ptr<Piano> instance;
std::vector<std::shared_ptr<Key>> piano;

... and many more!

🎹 Design patterns - minim 2 ☑️

Singleton ☑️

/**
 * Piano: Singleton class that holds array of piano keys
 * Calculates black/white key positions.
 * Holds key textures.
 */
class Piano
{
  // ...
  public:
      static Piano *getInstance()
      {
          if (!instance){
              instance = new Piano;
              std::cout<<"pianul a fost creat"<<std::endl;
          }
          else{
              std::cout<<"pianul a fost invocat"<<std::endl;
          }
          return instance;
      }

Facade ☑️

// Recorder.h - facade that hides all recording logic.
class Recorder {
    static json songData;
    static sf::Clock clock;
    static bool recording;
    public:
    Recorder();
    static void start();
    static void stop();

    //std::cout << seconds << " " << c << std::endl;
    sound.setVolume(c);
    if (c <= 5.0)
        break;
}
