Constructor Detail

Pant

public Pant(float x,
            float y,
            java.util.Random randGen)

This constructor initializes a new instance of Pant at the appropriate location. The Random number is only used to create a new Fire, after this pant is hit by a Fireball.

Parameters:

x - the x-coordinate of this new Pant's position

y - the y-coordinate of this new Pant's position

randGen - a Random number generator to pass onto any Fire that is created as a result of this Pant being hit by a Fireball.

Method Detail

update

public void update(int time)

This method is simply responsible for draing the current Pant to the screen.

Parameters:

time - is the amount of time in milliseconds that has elapsed since the last time this update was called.

getGraphic

public Graphic getGraphic()

This is a simple accessor for this object's Graphic, which may be used by other objects to check for collisions.

Returns:

a reference to this Pant's Graphic object.

handleFireballCollisions

public Fire handleFireballCollisions(java.util.ArrayList fireballs)

This method detects an handles collisions between any active Fireball, and the current Pant. When a collision is found, the colliding Fireball should be removed from the game (by calling its destroy() method), and the current Pant should also be removed from the game (by ensuring that its shouldRemove() method returns true). A new Fire should be created in the position of the old Pant object and then returned.

Parameters:

fireballs - the ArrayList of Fireballs that should be checked against the current Pant object's Graphic for collisions.

Returns:

a reference to the newly created Fire when a collision is found, and null otherwise.

shouldRemove

public boolean shouldRemove()

This method communicates to the Game whether this Pant is still in use versus ready to be removed from the Game's ArrayList of Pants.

Returns:

true when this Pant has been hit by a Fireball, otherwise false.
