Constructor Detail

World

public World()

Creates a new "world". A world is like an empty room that has to be filled with objects and lights. Every instance of world automatically creates an instance of Portals for managing sectors and portals within this world and an instance of Lights for managing the light sources. Additionally, the TextureManager for this VM is known to the world.

Method Detail

dispose

public void dispose()

Disposes the world. This method should be called before the world goes out of scope. This frees some resources that may otherwise be locked.

getSize

public int getSize()

Returns the number of user defined objects in this World.

Returns:

the number of objects

getCamera

public Camera getCamera()

Gets the current camera.

Returns:

the current camera

newCamera

public void newCamera()

Resets the camera to origin looking along the z-axis. This is the position and orientation the camera has after creating a new "world".

setCameraTo

public void setCameraTo(Camera cam)

Sets the camera to another one.

Parameters:

cam - the camera to use

setClippingPlanes

public void setClippingPlanes(float near,
                              float far)

Deprecated. Use the equally named method in Camera instead

If set, this overrides the settings in Config for the near and the far clipping plane for this world. If you don't touch this method, the settings in Config will be taken instead.
This method is deprecated and only here for compatibility reasons. The setting has moved into the Camera class. Calling this method here is just a shortcut to getCamera().setClippingPlanes(...).

Parameters:

near - the near plane

far - the far plane

See Also:

Config.farPlane, Config.nearPlane, Camera.setClippingPlanes(float, float)

removeObject

public void removeObject(int id)

Removes the object with the specified ID from the World's object collection. This method doesn't check for child/parent objects of the removed object, which will remain intact.

Parameters:

id - the ID of the object to remove

removeObject

public void removeObject(Object3D obj)

Removes the given object from the World's object collection. This method doesn't check for child/parent objects of the removed object, which will remain intact.

Parameters:

obj - the object to remove

getObject

public Object3D getObject(int id)

Returns the object with the given ID from the World's object collection. Raises an error, if the object doesn't exist.

Parameters:

id - the ID of the object

Returns:

the object

containsObject

public boolean containsObject(Object3D obj)

Returns true, if an Object3D belongs to this world and false otherwise.

Parameters:

obj - the object in question

Returns:

true or false

getObjectByName

public Object3D getObjectByName(java.lang.String name)

Returns the object named "name" from the World's object collection. This is an alternative albeit slower way to retrieve objects from the World. A better idea would be not ot lose them anyway...:-)

Parameters:

name - the name of the object

Returns:

the object or null if it doesn't exist

addObject

public int addObject(Object3D obj)

Adds an object to the World's object collection. The object will be referenced in this collection by its ID. The ID of the object in the collection is the same as the object's own ID. addObject() also returns this ID due to "historical reasons". So id=addObject(obj) is basically the same as id=obj.getID(); addObject(obj); Note: Current implementation limits the object-World bindings in a way that an object can only be added to one world at a time. This method doesn't check if the object has been added multiple times. This may change later.

Parameters:

obj - the object to be added

Returns:

the ID of the object in this World's collection

See Also:

Object3D.getID()

addObjects

public void addObjects(Object3D... objs)

Adds all objects from the given array to the world. This can be useful, if one wants to add a Object3Ds loaded by the 3DS/OBJ loaders to a world at once.

Parameters:

objs - the objects

buildAllObjects

public void buildAllObjects()

Calls build() for every object in the world.

See Also:

Object3D.build()

compileAllObjects

public void compileAllObjects()

Compiles all objects in the world for better gpu processing. You don't have to call this method, because it will be done on demand anyway. However, it may be better to compile all objects before starting the actual render loop to avoid hick-ups when auto-compiling while drawing things. Already compiled objects won't be affected.

renderScene

public void renderScene(FrameBuffer buffer)

Transforms and lights all the polygons. This method does everything required to start drawing the current scene. It just doesn't scanconvert the results. This is done by the draw()-method. This method has to be called at least once before blitting into the FrameBuffer will work correctly. If you are not abusing jPCT as a pure 2D blitting engine, then this shouldn't be a problem anyway.

Parameters:

buffer - the framebuffer that should be used for rendering

See Also:

draw(com.threed.jpct.FrameBuffer)

draw

public void draw(FrameBuffer buffer)

Draws the current scene that has been generated geometry wise by renderScene(). Usually, renderScene() and draw() are used one right after the other (with draw being the last).

Parameters:

buffer - the framebuffer that should be used for rendering

drawWireframe

public void drawWireframe(FrameBuffer buffer,
                          RGBColor color,
                          int size,
                          boolean pointMode)

Draws the current scene as a single-colored wireframe. This is done using the same buffer draw() draws into. drawWireframe() can be called instead of draw() to get the wireframe only as well as right after draw() to combine the two renderings for some special effects. Calling drawWireframe() before draw() doesn't make much sense.
Because of a "great" design decision in OpenGL ES, the result might not look particularly good though.

Parameters:

buffer - the framebuffer that should be used for rendering

color - the wireframe's color

size - the size of the primitive, i.e. the width of a line of the size of a point

pointMode - if true, it will render points instead of lines

getFrameCounter

public long getFrameCounter()

Returns the number of frames rendered since startup.

Returns:

the number of frames (to be precise: how often draw() has been called)

getObjects

public java.util.Enumeration<Object3D> getObjects()

Returns an Enumeration of all user defined objects in this world.

Returns:

the objects (instances of Object3D)

setObjectsVisibility

public void setObjectsVisibility(boolean visible)

Sets the visibility for all objects that belong to a world.

Parameters:

visible - visible or not?

removeAll

public void removeAll()

Removes all lights and objects from the world.

removeAllObjects

public void removeAllObjects()

Removes all but the internal objects from the world. The world is empty after calling this method.

removeAllLights

public void removeAllLights()

Removes all lights from the world. The scene will be lit by ambient lighting only after calling this method.

addPolyline

public void addPolyline(Polyline line)

Adds a new Polyline to the world. A Polyline is a line strip with a color that will be drawn into the scene after all other objects has been drawn. A Polyline's coordinates are to be given in world space. You can add multiple Polylines to a world.

Parameters:

line - the Polyline

removePolyline

public void removePolyline(Polyline line)

Removes a Polyline from a world.

Parameters:

line - the line

removeAllPolylines

public void removeAllPolylines()

Removes all Polylines.

setDefaultThread

public static void setDefaultThread(java.lang.Thread def)

jPCT's methods might be called from within different threads. However, it's very likely that one thread will do most of the work while others may run less often or doing less work. With this method, it's possible to tell jPCT which is the "default" thread, i.e. the thread that does most of the work. If jPCT knows this, some optimizations for this thread can be performed. Note that this value isn't serialized if World is.
If you don't set this value, jPCT will auto-detect the default thread.

Parameters:

def - the "default" thread

getDefaultThread

public static java.lang.Thread getDefaultThread()

Returns the default thread or null if none has been set.

Returns:

the thread or null

setGlobalShader

public void setGlobalShader(GLSLShader globalShader)

Sets a global shader. If set, this shader will be applied to all objects that have no own shader assigned.

Parameters:

globalShader - the global shader

getGlobalShader

public GLSLShader getGlobalShader()

Returns the global shader or null if none has been set.

Returns:

the global shader

getBounds

public float[] getBounds(boolean visibleOnly)

Returns the world space bounds of all (optional only the visible) objects that belong to this world. Or in other words: All vertices of all objects in this world will be located inside the returned bounding box. Format of the return array is minX, maxX, minY, maxY, minZ, maxZ.

Parameters:

visibleOnly - if true, only visible objects will be taken into account. If false, all objects will.

Returns:

the bounding box
