Bullet::Bullet()
{
    _position = Vect(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);
    _direction = Vect(0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f);
    _speed = 10.0f;
 
    GameObject::submitUpdateRegistration();
}
 
Bullet::update()
{
    this->move();
}
 
Bullet::move()
{
    float deltaTime += TimeManager::GetElaspedFrameTimeInSeconds();
 
    // using frame time here for moving bullet
    _position += _direction * _speed * _deltaTime;
 
    // Then update neccessary data within bullet to use position
    // such as updating world matrix for model
}
