Class Fade

          us.asciiroth.client.effects.Fade

All Implemented Interfaces:

Animated, Effect, Piece

public class Fade
extends AbstractEffect
implements Animated

Character fading. I give up: the effect animations are stateful. You wouldn't believe the complexity of dealing with one animated piece calling another animated piece's getSymbol() method, and getting the wrong animation state. No answer is better, such as storing state in the animation proxies, partial rendering based on the current appearance of the cell, etc.

Constructor Summary

Fade(Symbol symbol, com.google.gwt.user.client.Command command)
Constructor.

Method Summary

Symbol	getSymbol() AbstractPiece does not support different rendering outside as opposed to inside.
boolean	isAboveAgent() Should this effect be displayed above or below an agent if an agent appears on the same cell?
void	onFrame(Context ctx, Cell cell, int frame) Animation callback, executed once each frame for each piece animated on the board.
boolean	randomSeed() Should this animation start with a randomly seeded number as its first frame? For some animations, this can prevent all presentations of the piece on the board executing the same animation frame at the same time.

Method Detail

getSymbol

public Symbol getSymbol()

AbstractPiece does not support different rendering outside as opposed to inside. Subclasses must implement this.

Specified by:

getSymbol in interface Piece

Overrides:

getSymbol in class AbstractPiece

Returns:

the symbol for this piece

isAboveAgent

public boolean isAboveAgent()

Description copied from interface: Effect

Should this effect be displayed above or below an agent if an agent appears on the same cell?

Specified by:

isAboveAgent in interface Effect

Overrides:

isAboveAgent in class AbstractEffect

Returns:

true if this effect should appear above the agent

onFrame

public void onFrame(Context ctx,
                    Cell cell,
                    int frame)

Description copied from interface: Animated

Animation callback, executed once each frame for each piece animated on the board.

Specified by:

onFrame in interface Animated

randomSeed

public boolean randomSeed()

Description copied from interface: Animated

Should this animation start with a randomly seeded number as its first frame? For some animations, this can prevent all presentations of the piece on the board executing the same animation frame at the same time.

Specified by:

randomSeed in interface Animated

Returns:

true if a random frame should begin the animated piece's timeline
