Parents

As you can see, parents are important in KapEngine. This functionnality allow you to move / rescale / rotate several GameObject in same time.

It's useful to make a clean project too.

To set the parent you can do this : 

auto child = scene.createGameObject("My Child");
auto parent = scene.createGameObject("My Parent");

//first solution
child.setParent(parent);
//second solution
child.setParent(parent->getId());
