Interface FormationPattern<T extends com.badlogic.gdx.math.Vector<T>>

Type Parameters:

T - Type of vector, either 2D or 3D, implementing the Vector interface

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefensiveCircleFormationPattern, OffensiveCircleFormationPattern

public interface FormationPattern<T extends com.badlogic.gdx.math.Vector<T>>

The FormationPattern interface represents the shape of a formation and generates the slot offsets, relative to its anchor point. Since formations can be scalable the pattern must be able to determine if a given number of slots is supported.

Each particular pattern (such as a V, wedge, circle) needs its own instance of a class that implements this FormationPattern interface.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
Location<T>	calculateSlotLocation(Location<T> outLocation, int slotNumber) Returns the location of the given slot index.
void	setNumberOfSlots(int numberOfSlots) Sets the number of slots.
boolean	supportsSlots(int slotCount) Returns true if the pattern can support the given number of slots

Method Detail

setNumberOfSlots

void setNumberOfSlots(int numberOfSlots)

Sets the number of slots.

Parameters:

numberOfSlots - the number of slots to set

calculateSlotLocation

Location<T> calculateSlotLocation(Location<T> outLocation,
                                  int slotNumber)

Returns the location of the given slot index.

supportsSlots

boolean supportsSlots(int slotCount)

Returns true if the pattern can support the given number of slots

Parameters:

slotCount - the number of slots

Returns:

true if this pattern can support the given number of slots; false othervwise.
