[JAVA][Beginning Java 8 Games Development]

Chapter 14 ■ Setting Up the Game Environment: Creating Fixed Sprite Classes Using the Actor Superclass
Figure 14-25. Instantiate an iPB0 PropB object, add it to the root Scene Graph, and add it to a CurrentCast List
Next, let’s add the ImageView Node for the iPB0 PropB object into the Scene Graph root object. This is done
using a .getChildren().add() method chain. This references a spriteFrame ImageView object, which is inside of
the iPB0 PropB object, using dot notation. This is done using the following Java statement, which is also shown in
Figure 14-25:
root.getChildren().add(iPB0.spriteFrame);
Finally, we’ll use the .addCurrentCast() method that we created in Chapter 10 to add this iPB0 PropB object to
a CURRENT_CAST List ArrayList object, inside of the castDirector CastingDirector object, which can
be seen at the bottom of Figure 14-25, and which uses this following single line of Java code:
castDirector.addCurrentCast(iPB0);
Now that we’ve put all four of the Actor subclasses that we have created during the first half of this chapter into
service, we can test the application and see what the different X and Y axis mirroring does to the prop0.png brick.
