Package rea.components
Components of a gameplay, the set of feature of a game.
These include a GameMap that has a
direct acyclic graph (DAG) whose nodes are Place
connected by Passage. Places contain a collection
of Positionable components, namely:
Character- components in the game capable of executing an
Action Item- components that can be picked, collected and used in the game;
Passage- components that connect to another an
Place
As the name suggests, positionable components have a Position,
cartesian coordinates in place. The coordinates are for the center of the component and
relative to the upper left corner of the place.
Both Places and positionable components have a Visual, i.e. a
graphic representation as image file with a certain dimension.
The game map's DAG follows the Composite design pattern, with
Component as the abstract participant, Place ad
container and the positionable conponents as leaves.
Exploiting the fact that the DAG is a composite, it can be transversed by a
Visitor. To achive this, all components implement the
Element interface. These interfaces are
abstract components of the Visitor design pattern.
