};

int main(int argc, const char *argv[])
{
        Leadwerks::Window* window = Leadwerks::Window::Create();
        Context* context = Context::Create(window);
        World* world = World::Create();
        Camera* camera = Camera::Create();
        DirectionalLight::Create()->SetRotation(35,45,0);

        //Create a model
        model = Model::Box();
        model->SetPosition(0,0,3);

        //Create our own custom object
        EntityData* entitydata = new EntityData;
        entitydata->health = 100;

        //Set the model user data
        model->SetUserData(entitydata);

        
        while (true)
        {
                if (window->Closed() || window->KeyDown(Key::Escape)) return false;
        
                Leadwerks::Time::Update();

                //Retrieve our custom object
                EntityData* entitydata = (EntityData*)model->GetUserData();
