BaseObject Class

Class org.rapo.games.BaseObject

Inheritance > BaseObject

Serves as a base class for all game objects. Should be subclassed by game-specific object classes

Constructor Summary
	BaseObject(x:Number, y:Number, movie_clip:MovieClip, name:String) Initializes the properties shared by all game objects.

Property Summary
Boolean	alive Indicates whether or not the object is alive
Number	angleIndex The index of the objects rotation through [32] angle divisions (see MathTables)
Object	coords An Object containing x and y properties for the object's 2D game-world coordinates
MovieClip	mc The MovieClip instance associates with this object
String	name The object's unique name
Number	speed The objects current speed (a one-dimensional, Scalar value)
Object	velocity The objects current velocity (a two-dimensional, Vector value)

Method Summary
Void	destroy() Destroys (cleans up) the game object.
Void	draw() Handles drwing the game object Should be overridden in a game-specific game object class
Void	drawBounds() Draws the bounding rectangle of the game object.
Void	move() Moves the game object.
Void	moveTo(x:Number, y:Number) Sets the x and y coordinates of the game object.
Void	setAngleIndex(angle_index:Number) Sets the rotation of the game object by setting its angleIndex Should be overridden in a game-specific game object class

Constructor Detail

BaseObject

public function BaseObject(x:Number, y:Number, movie_clip:MovieClip, name:String)

Initializes the properties shared by all game objects.

Parameters:

x: The object's initial x coordinate
y: The object's initial y coordinate
movie_clip: The MovieClip instance associates with this object
name: The object's unique name

Property Detail

alive

var alive:Boolean;

Indicates whether or not the object is alive

angleIndex

var angleIndex:Number;

The index of the objects rotation through [32] angle divisions (see MathTables)

coords

var coords:Object;

An Object containing x and y properties for the object's 2D game-world coordinates

var mc:MovieClip;

The MovieClip instance associates with this object

name

var name:String;

The object's unique name

speed

var speed:Number;

The objects current speed (a one-dimensional, Scalar value)

velocity

var velocity:Object;

The objects current velocity (a two-dimensional, Vector value)

Method Detail

destroy

public function destroy():Void

Destroys (cleans up) the game object. Should be overridden in a game-specific game object class

Parameters:

draw

public function draw():Void

Handles drwing the game object Should be overridden in a game-specific game object class

Parameters:

drawBounds

public function drawBounds():Void

Draws the bounding rectangle of the game object. Useful for debugging. Should be overridden in a game-specific game object class

Parameters:

move

public function move():Void

Moves the game object. Should be overridden in a game-specific game object class

Parameters:

moveTo

public function moveTo(x:Number, y:Number):Void

Sets the x and y coordinates of the game object. Should be overridden in a game-specific game object class

Parameters:

x: The new x coordinate of the game object
y: The new y coordinate of the game object

setAngleIndex

public function setAngleIndex(angle_index:Number):Void

Sets the rotation of the game object by setting its angleIndex Should be overridden in a game-specific game object class

Parameters:

angle_index: The index of the objects rotation through [32] angle divisions (see MathTables)
