How do game engines store scene objects?

Question

Game development

I want to write my own game engine. I ran into a problem, let's imagine that there is a scene that stores all objects in the form of a list, and each object has its own modules, the modules need to receive the parent object and some objects from the scene. I write in java, if you say that java is slow, I will choose c++. How it is beautiful to implement?

Answer 1

a ton of literature is devoted to this issue, and you want to briefly reveal the topic in 2 words .. the easiest option is to first study the unity / unreal engine and decide what you don’t like about them, then start sawing your engine
