|
|
<p>The abstract <code>World</code> class exports the following methods:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
<li><code>bigBang(width,height,speed)</code>, which initializes the world,
|
|
associates it with a <code>width</code> x <code>height</code> <a
|
|
href="#canvas"><code>Canvas</code></a>, displays
|
|
this canvas, and finally starts the clock at a rate of one tick per
|
|
<code>speed</code> seconds. If it succeeds with all of its actions, the method
|
|
produces <code>true</code>.
|
|
|
|
<p>A <code>World</code> is associated with one default <code>Canvas</code>,
|
|
called <code>theCanvas</code>. If a <code>World</code> needs additional
|
|
canvases for its graphical presentation, its concrete subclasses must add
|
|
those.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li><code>endOfTime</code>, stops the clock and, if it succeeds, produces
|
|
<code>true</code>.
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li><code>endOfWorld</code>, stops the clock and, if it succeeds, produces the
|
|
last <code>World</code>.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
The methods may fail due to the unavailability of the physical devices,
|
|
inappropriate uses, etc. In those cases, they fail with an exception.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>A derived concrete class must supply definitions for the following methods:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><code>onTick()</code>, which is invoked for every tick of the clock. Its
|
|
purpose is to create a <code>World</code> whose differences with
|
|
<code>this</code> one represent what happened during the amount of time it takes
|
|
the clock to tick.
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li><code>onKeyEvent(key)</code>, which is invoked for every keyboard event. Its
|
|
purposes is to create a <code>World</code> whose differences with
|
|
<code>this</code> one represent what happens due to the user's use of the
|
|
keyboard. The latter is represented with the string-valued argument
|
|
<code>key</code>.
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li><code>draw()</code>, which is invoked <em>after</em> one of the two event
|
|
handlers has been called. Its purpose is to present <code>this World </code>
|
|
graphically on its canvas. If it succeeds, its result is <code>true.</code>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li><code>erase()</code>, which is invoked <em>after</em> one of the two event
|
|
handlers has been called. Its purpose is to erase <code>this World</code>'s
|
|
canvas, as much as needed. If it succeeds, its result is <code>true.</code>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
A program may, in principle, start several instances of (subclasses of)
|
|
<code>World</code>. If it does, the event handlers are called in a unpredictable
|
|
order. </p>
|
|
|
|
<a name="canvas" />
|
|
<p>To create an instance of the <code>Canvas</code> class, a program must supply
|
|
two <code>int</code> values: one for the width of the canvas and one for its
|
|
height. The canvas is a rectangle, whose borders are parallel to the computer
|
|
screen's borders. A program can use the following methods on instances of
|
|
<code>Canvas:</code>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><code>show()</code>, which displays the canvas.
|
|
If it succeeds, it produces <code>true</code>.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li><code>close()</code>, which destroys the canvas.
|
|
If it succeeds, it produces <code>true</code>.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li><code>drawCircle(p,r,c)</code>, which draws a circle on <code>this
|
|
Canvas</code> at <code>p</code> with radius <code>r</code> and color
|
|
<code>c</code>. If it succeeds, it produces <code>true</code>.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li><code>drawDisk(p,r,c)</code>, which draws a disk on
|
|
<code>this Canvas</code> at <code>p</code> with radius <code>r</code> and color
|
|
<code>c</code>. If it succeeds, it produces <code>true</code>.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li><code>drawRect(p,w,h, c)</code>, which draws a solid rectangle on <code>this
|
|
Canvas</code> at <code>p</code> with width <code>w</code>, height
|
|
<code>h</code>, and color <code>c</code>. The rectangle's lines are parallel to
|
|
the canvas's borders. If it succeeds, it produces <code>true</code>.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li><code>drawLine(p0,p1,c)</code>, which draws a line on <code>this
|
|
Canvas</code> from <code>p0</code> to <code>p1</code> using color
|
|
<code>c</code>. If it succeeds, it produces <code>true</code>.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li><code>drawString(p,s)</code>, which draws the string <code>s</code> at
|
|
<code>p</code> on <code>this Canvas</code>. If it succeeds, it produces
|
|
<code>true</code>.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li><code>clearCircle(p,r,c)</code>, which erases a circle from <code>this
|
|
Canvas</code> at <code>p</code> with radius <code>r</code> and color
|
|
<code>c</code>. If it succeeds, it produces <code>true</code>.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li><code>clearDisk(p,r,c)</code>, which erases a disk from
|
|
<code>this Canvas</code> at <code>p</code> with radius <code>r</code> and color
|
|
<code>c</code>. If it succeeds, it produces <code>true</code>.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li><code>clearRect(p,w,w,c)</code>, which draws a solid rectangle from <code>this
|
|
Canvas</code> at <code>p</code> with width <code>w</code>, height
|
|
<code>h</code>, and color <code>c</code>. The rectangle's lines are parallel to
|
|
the canvas's borders. If it succeeds, it produces <code>true</code>.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li><code>clearLine(Posn p0, Posn p1, Color c)</code>, which erases a line from <code>this
|
|
Canvas</code> from <code>p0</code> to <code>p1</code> using color
|
|
<code>c</code>. If it succeeds, it produces <code>true</code>.</li>
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
The methods may fail due to the unavailability of the physical devices,
|
|
inappropriate uses, etc. In those cases, they fail with an exception.</p>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>To create an instance of the <code>Posn</code> class, a program must supply
|
|
two <code>int</code> values: one for its x coordinate of the canvas and the
|
|
second for its y coordinate. </p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <code>Color</code> class is abstract. Its variants (subclasses) are
|
|
created with no arguments.
