Welcome!
Let's say we have a small and simple piece of software to control a time machine. The main components are a flux capacitor and a time display.
The software has the following architecture:
+---------------+ +----------------+
| <<component>> | | <<component>> |
| |---------->| |
| time_machine | | flux_capacitor |
+---------------+ +----------------+
| |
| <<implements>>
| |
V V
+---------------+ +-----------------------+
| <<component>> | | <<component>> |
| +---Co---+ |
| time_display | | time_travel_interface |
+---------------+ +-----------------------+
The component time_machine is the main controller. The time_travel_interface is implemented by the flux_capacitor and used by the time_display.
The source code is organized in the following file structure:
[project]/
+--- flux_capacitor/
| +--- include/
| | +--- flux_capacitor/
| | +--- flux_capacitor.h
| +--- src/
| +--- capacitor.cc
| +--- capacitor.h
| +--- flux_capacitor.cc
| +--- flux.cc
| +--- flux.h
|
+--- time_display/
| +--- include/
| | +--- time_display/
| | +--- display.h
| +--- src/
| +--- colors.cc
| +--- colors.h
| +--- display.cc
| +--- numbers.cc
| +--- numbers.h
|
+--- time_machine/
| +--- src/
| +--- main.cc
| +--- time_machine.cc
| +--- time_machine.h
|
+--- time_travel_interface/
+--- include/
+--- time_travel/
+--- time_travel.h
Tip: Do not forget to look at the CMake documention when you're stuck.
