Class ScriptManager

java.lang.Object
  com.brackeen.javagamebook.scripting.ScriptManager

public class ScriptManager

extends java.lang.Object

The ScriptManager class handles the invoking of scripted methods. Scripted methods can add functionality to different GameObject notifications for each unique object. For example, the methods for collision notifications for the "player" object are:

    playerFloorCollision()
    playerWallCollision()
    playerCeilingCollision()
    

Likewise, if "player" collides with the "box" object, these methods are called:

    player_boxCollision()
    player_boxTouch()
    player_boxRelease()
    

Also, the initLevel() method is called on startup.
