        Context* context = Context::Create(window);
        
        World* world = World::Create();
        
        Camera* camera = Camera::Create();
        camera->SetRotation(35, 0, 0);
        camera->Move(0, 0, -5);

        Light* light = DirectionalLight::Create();
        light->SetRotation(35, 35, 0);

        //Create a model
        Entity* entity = Model::Box();

        Entity* child = Model::Box(1, 1, 1, entity);
        child->SetColor(1.0, 0.0, 0.0);
        child->SetPosition(2, -2, 0);
        
        while (true)
        {
                if (window->Closed() || window->KeyDown(Key::Escape)) return false;

                Leadwerks::Leadwerks::Time::Update();
                world->Update();
                world->Render();

                entity->Turn(1.0*Leadwerks::Time::GetSpeed(), 2.0*Leadwerks::Time::GetSpeed(), 3.0*Leadwerks::Time::GetSpeed());

                //Get the entity child
                Entity* child = entity->GetChild(0);

                //Confirm the child's parent is the entity
                Debug::Assert(child->GetParent() == entity);

                context->Sync();
        }
