Simulator::cGameNounManager class
#include <Spore ModAPI/Spore/Simulator/SubSystem/GameNounManager.h>

The class that manages game objects, known in Spore code as 'nouns'.

Use this class to create or destroy instances of Simulator classes. To create a Simulator object, use simulator_new() (which calls this class). This class is also used to obtain all active instances of a certain object, using Simulator::GetData(). Use GameNounManager.GetAvatar() to obtain the player creature.

This is a singleton class, so use GameNounManager to access it.
