Class BallModel

java.lang.Object
  ballworld.model.BallModel

public class BallModel
extends java.lang.Object

The model that represents the balls and their associated control systems. The balls are held by a Dispatcher which is used for all communications to the balls. Uses a Timer object to update the model and the view at a regular time slice. This will give the effect of animation.�

Field Detail

_switcher

private SwitcherStrategy _switcher

The one switcher strategy instance in the system. Allows all balls made with this strategy to be controlled at once.

rand

private IRandomizer rand

Randomizer utility object, used for random values for new balls

_MaxRadius

private int _MaxRadius

The maximum radius for a new ball

_MinRadius

private int _MinRadius

The minimum radius for a new ball

_MaxSpeed

private int _MaxSpeed

The maximum speed for a new ball.

_MaxVel

private java.awt.Rectangle _MaxVel

The bounds for the velocity of a new ball

_dispatcher

private Dispatcher _dispatcher

The dispatcher that updates all the balls.

_timeSlice

private int _timeSlice

The time interval between timer ticks, in milliseconds

_timer

private javax.swing.Timer _timer

The timer that controls when the balls are periodically updated. Every _timeSlice milliseconds, it loads a timer event onto the GUI event thread. This insures that all processes happen on the GUI event thread, minimizing cross-thread invocation problems.

viewCtrlAdpt

private IViewControlAdapter viewCtrlAdpt

Adapter to the view for control tasks.

viewUpdateAdpt

private IViewUpdateAdapter viewUpdateAdpt

Adapter to the view for updating tasks

_updateTimeSlice

private int _updateTimeSlice

_updateTimer

private javax.swing.Timer _updateTimer

_errorUpdateStrategyFac

private IUpdateStrategyFac _errorUpdateStrategyFac

A factory for a beeping error strategy that beeps the speaker every 25 updates. Either use the _errorStrategyFac variable directly if you need a factory that makes an error strategy, or call _errorStrategyFac.make() to create an instance of a beeping error strategy.

_errorPaintStrategyFac

private IPaintStrategyFac _errorPaintStrategyFac

Constructor Detail

BallModel

public BallModel(IViewControlAdapter viewCtrlAdpt,
                 IViewUpdateAdapter viewUpdateAdpt)

Constructor for the model

Parameters:

viewCtrlAdpt - The view adapter for control tasks

viewUpdateAdpt - The view adapter for updating tasks

Method Detail

loadBall

public void loadBall(IUpdateStrategy updateStrategy,
                     IPaintStrategy paintStrategy)

Load a ball into the system, where the ball uses the given update strategy instance.

Parameters:

updateStrategy - An IUpdateStrategy for the new ball to use.

paintStrategy - An IPaintStrategy for the new ball to use.

start

public void start()

Start the model, in particular, start the timer.

clearBalls

public void clearBalls()

Clear all the ball from the system.

update

public void update(java.lang.Object g)

Update all the balls in the system, passing the given input parameter.

Parameters:

g - An input parameter to give to each ball's update method.

fixName

private java.lang.String fixName(java.lang.String folder,
                                 java.lang.Object classname,
                                 java.lang.String append)

Fixes abbreviated, shortened names by adding the "ballworld.model.strategy." package part of the name and adding a "Strategy" suffix to the name.

Parameters:

folder - TODO

classname - The abbreviated, shortened name

append - TODO

Returns:

The fully qualified class name.

loadUpdateStrategy

public IUpdateStrategy loadUpdateStrategy(java.lang.String className)

Uses dynamic class loading to load and instantiate an IUpdateStrategy implementation, given its class name. If the classname is invalid, a beeping error strategy instance is returned.

Parameters:

Returns:

An IUpdateStrategy instance

makeUpdateStrategyFac

public IUpdateStrategyFac makeUpdateStrategyFac(java.lang.String classname)

Returns an IUpdateStrategyFac that can instantiate the strategy specified by classname. Returns a factory for a beeping error strategy if classname is null. The toString() of the returned factory is the classname.
