Time for action — making the camera work again

We have already created our camera; now we are going to use it in combination with user input as follows:

1. Extend the constructor of the Framelistener to get a pointer to our camera:

   Example30FrameListener(Ogre::SceneNode* node,RenderWindow* win,Ogre::Camera* cam)
   

2. Also add a member variable for storing the camera pointer:

   Ogre::Camera* _Cam;
   

3. Then assign the parameter to the member:

   _Cam = cam;
   

4. Modify the instantiation of the FrameListener to add the camera pointer:

   Ogre::FrameListener* FrameListener = new Example30FrameListener(_SinbadNode,mWindow,mCamera);
   

5. To move the camera, we need to get mouse input. So create a new member variable for storing the mouse:

   OIS::Mouse* _mouse;
   

6. In the constructor, init ...
