Member Function Documentation

getGameLogic()

virtual U4DGameLogicInterface* U4DEngine::U4DControllerInterface::getGameLogic ( )

pure virtual

Gets the current U4DGameLogic object linked to the controller.

The U4DGameLogic refers to the model component of the MVC

Returns

The current Game Model. i.e. game logic

Implemented in U4DEngine::U4DGameController.

getGameWorld()

virtual U4DWorld* U4DEngine::U4DControllerInterface::getGameWorld ( )

pure virtual

Gets the current U4DWorld entity linked to the controller.

The U4DWorld entity refers to the view component of the MVC

Returns

The current game world. i.e. view component

Implemented in U4DEngine::U4DGameController.

init()

virtual void U4DEngine::U4DControllerInterface::init ( )

pure virtual

initialization method

In the initialization method, controller entities such as buttons, joysticks, keyboards are created. callbacks are also created and linked

Implemented in U4DEngine::U4DGamepadController, U4DEngine::U4DKeyboardController, and U4DEngine::U4DTouchesController.

sendUserInputUpdate()

virtual void U4DEngine::U4DControllerInterface::sendUserInputUpdate ( void *  uData )

pure virtual

Sends user input to the linked U4DGameLogic.

The controller sends the user input information to the U4DGameLogic

Parameters

uData

data containing the informationation about the user input

Implemented in U4DEngine::U4DGameController.

setGameLogic()

virtual void U4DEngine::U4DControllerInterface::setGameLogic ( U4DGameLogicInterface *  uGameLogic )

pure virtual

Sets the current Model component (MVC) of the game.

The Model component refers to the U4DGameLogic object.

Parameters

uGameLogic

the U4DGameLogic object

Implemented in U4DEngine::U4DGameController.

setGameWorld()

virtual void U4DEngine::U4DControllerInterface::setGameWorld ( U4DWorld *  uGameWorld )

pure virtual

Sets the current view component of the game.

The view component (MVC) refers to the U4DWorld entity used in the game

Parameters

uGameWorld

the U4DWorld entity

Implemented in U4DEngine::U4DGameController.

setReceivedAction()

virtual void U4DEngine::U4DControllerInterface::setReceivedAction ( bool  uValue )

pure virtual

Indicates that an action on the controller has been received.

Gets set Whenever there is an action on the controller such as a press, release, movement.

Parameters

uValue

true for action has been detected.

Implemented in U4DEngine::U4DGameController.
