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

The Location interface represents any game object having a position and an orientation.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
T	angleToVector(T outVector, float angle) Returns the unit vector in the direction of the specified angle expressed in radians.
float	getOrientation() Returns the float value indicating the orientation of this location.
T	getPosition() Returns the vector indicating the position of this location.
Location<T>	newLocation() Creates a new location.
void	setOrientation(float orientation) Sets the orientation of this location, i.e.
float	vectorToAngle(T vector) Returns the angle in radians pointing along the specified vector.

Method Detail

getPosition

T getPosition()

Returns the vector indicating the position of this location.

getOrientation

float getOrientation()

Returns the float value indicating the orientation of this location. The orientation is the angle in radians representing the direction that this location is facing.

setOrientation

void setOrientation(float orientation)

Sets the orientation of this location, i.e. the angle in radians representing the direction that this location is facing.

Parameters:

orientation - the orientation in radians

vectorToAngle

float vectorToAngle(T vector)

Returns the angle in radians pointing along the specified vector.

Parameters:

vector - the vector

angleToVector

T angleToVector(T outVector,
                float angle)

Returns the unit vector in the direction of the specified angle expressed in radians.

Parameters:

outVector - the output vector.

angle - the angle in radians.

Returns:

the output vector for chaining.

newLocation

Location<T> newLocation()

Creates a new location.

This method is used internally to instantiate locations of the correct type parameter T. This technique keeps the API simple and makes the API easier to use with the GWT backend because avoids the use of reflection.

Returns:

the newly created location.
