What is Broodwar in a sentence like "Broodwar->isReplay()" object pointer? object? variable?

Hi all,

What is the "Broodwa"r in a sentence like "Broodwar->isReplay()"?

Since it is using a "->", I guess it is a object pointer. However, when I check the definition in Game.h, it says:

"extern GameWrapper Broodwar;", from which I assume it is a object.... so what is it...

I'm a newbie in BWAPI as well as c++ programming. I learnt c++ in college but didn't really understand. Recently I just picked up some online videos and decided to read some BWAPI source code. Sorry if the question is too naive...

It's technically an object, so that iostream operators can be overloaded for it. The pointer member operator is also overloaded to access a pointer to the game object. It's an object that wraps a pointer.
