net.nexttext.behaviour.physics
Class PhysicsAction

java.lang.Object
  net.nexttext.behaviour.AbstractAction
      net.nexttext.behaviour.physics.PhysicsAction

All Implemented Interfaces:

Action

Direct Known Subclasses:

Approach, Bounce, Explode, Gravity, Move, Push, Spin, StayInside, StayInWindow, Stop

public abstract class PhysicsAction
extends AbstractAction

Every Action in this package should be a descendant of this class.

PhysicsAction introduces a new set of physics properties, and provide the usual accessors for them.

• Mass
• Velocity
• Force
• AngularVelocity
• AngularForce (Torque)

Properties to add in the future include elasticity and mass. A method to get absolute velocity may also be useful.

Method Detail

getRequiredProperties

public java.util.Map<java.lang.String,Property> getRequiredProperties()

Returns a Map containing a set of Vector3Properties required by all PhysicActions

Specified by:

getRequiredProperties in interface Action

Overrides:

getRequiredProperties in class AbstractAction

getMass

public NumberProperty getMass(TextObject to)

getVelocity

public PVectorProperty getVelocity(TextObject to)

getAngularVelocity

public NumberProperty getAngularVelocity(TextObject to)

applyForce

public void applyForce(TextObject to,
                       processing.core.PVector force)

Applies a force to a TextObject.

The mass of the object will affect the resulting acceleration.

applyAcceleration

public void applyAcceleration(TextObject to,
                              processing.core.PVector acceleration)

Applies an acceleration to a TextObject.

This acceleration is independent of the mass of the object.

applyAngularForce

public void applyAngularForce(TextObject to,
                              float angularForce)

Applies an angular force (torque) to a TextObject.

The mass of the object will affect the resulting angular acceleration.

applyAngularAcceleration

public void applyAngularAcceleration(TextObject to,
                                     float angAcc)

Applies an angular acceleration to a TextObject.

This acceleration is independent of the mass of the object.
