Chapter 7 ■ The Foundation of Game Play Loop: The JavaFX Pulse System and the Game Processing Architecture
Figure 7-7. Take a coding shortcut: press Alt+Enter to bring up a helper dialog, and select Implement all abstract methods
Note that the an @Override keyword precedes the public void handle method access keyword, return type
keyword, and method name. This tells the Java compiler that your .handle() method is going to replace (override)
AnimationTimer’s .handle() method, which is why the error indicates that you have to override abstract method
.handle(long).
You certainly do not want your .handle() method to throw 60 UnsupportedOperationException() errors every
single second of your game loop; however, you are going to leave this in there for now so that you can see what it does
and also learn a bit more about the NetBeans error console.
As Figure 7-8 demonstrates, once you select the Implement all abstract methods option, the Java code is error
free, and the basic package-import-class-method structure for the class is in place. Now, you should be able to create
a GamePlayLoop object using this class, so let’s switch gears and do some programming in the InvinciBagel Java class,
in which you create a GamePlayLoop object, and then profile the application to see what it does.
