    guitext(graphics *gfx, std::string _text, float _x, float _y, 
        float _size, float timeToLive);
    bool upd         


        

Answer 1

In addition, in your case it's not good idea to pass arguments by value, i suppose there will be very big quantity of objects that need to be redrawed. Better, by const reference, since functon doesn't change state of passed object inside.
