Figure 17-46. Adding the iBullet, iCheese and iBeagle object.equals() if-else structures to the .scoringEngine() method
At this point, if you use a Run ➤ Project work process, you should have an iBeagle shooting a Bullet or Cream
Cheese Ball. When you catch the iBeagle with the InvinciBagel character, you should score ten points, or, if you catch a
Cream Cheese Ball, you should get five points. If you get hit by a Bullet, you should lose five points.
You will notice as you test the InvinciBagel game application that once you get hit by a Bullet, Cream Cheese Ball,
or when you catch the iBeagle, that they do not come back! This is because the collision detection programming logic
removes an object from the game once an InvinciBagel collects it (Treasure) or collides with it (Prop or Projectile).
So the next step in our development will be to add in the programming logic that adds an iBullet, iCheese or
iBeagle object back into the castDirector object once they have been removed by the collision detection programming
logic that you put into place in Chapter 16. To do this, we’ll have to code an enhancement to the CastingDirector.java
class, code the new .loadEnemy(), .loadBullet() and .loadCheese() methods at the bottom of the Enemy.java class, and
add the appropriate programming logic implementing these three new methods into the .initiateAttack() method.
