Chapter 16 ■ Collision Detection: Creating SVG Polygons for the Game Actors and Writing Code to Detect Collision
There are one or two basic changes that we’ll need to make in the InvinciBagel.java class, before we switch over
into the Bagel.java class to implement collision detection. Since we are going to use the CastingDirector object in
the collision code, we’ll have to remove the private access control keyword in the CastingDirector castDirector;
declaration, as shown in Figure 16-28. We are trying to keep as many of the variables in our InvinciBagel class private
as possible, and later make them package protected if we need to access them from another class, such as Bagel.java.
Figure 16-28. Remove the private access control modifier keyword for CastingDirector castDirector object declaration
The next thing that we’ll want to do is to remove the iBagel object from the .addCurrentCast() method call
parameter list in the createCastingDirection() method. We are doing this so that the InvinciBagel, who we are
going to be checking for collision against the rest of the Actor objects, which are contained in the CURRENT_CAST
List object, does not check for collision against itself! The new shorter method call (minus the iBagel object)
should look like the following Java code, which is shown highlighted at the bottom of Figure 16-29:
castDirector.addCurrentCast(iPR0, iPH0, iPV0, iPB0);
