Chapter 16 ■ Collision Detection: Creating SVG Polygons for the Game Actors and Writing Code to Detect Collision
Figure 16-39. Remove the currently collided with Actor object ImageView Node from the Scene Graph using .remove()
After we update the CURRENT_CAST List, we will have done our basic collision management coding, and we can
take a look at how we can optimize the .checkCollision() and .collide() methods to work together more efficiently.
Reset the Removed Actor List: .resetRemovedActors() Method
The final thing that we need to do in the series of programming statements that need to happen when a collision
occurs is to reset the REMOVED_ACTORS HashSet object. As you recall from Chapter 10, this method
removes the removed actors from the CURRENT_CAST List object, so that the Actor object is completely
removed from the game entirely. Besides the .playiSound0() method call we are using to test this method using our
ears, this is one of the simplest Java programming statements that we will have to code, and should look like the
following Java code:
invinciBagel.castDirector.resetRemovedActors();
