Method Detail

act

public void act()

Description copied from class: QuantumObject

A day in the life of a quantum object: 1. Maybe commit suicide (i. e. destroys itself when destroysOnNextTurn is true) 2. Do quantum object interactions with intersecting objects 3. -- Err... are you missing point 3?

Overrides:

act in class QuantumObject

hit

public boolean hit(ManuallyControlledSpaceship ship)

Dummy hit method. Only triggers when hitting a ManuallyControlledShip. The powerup is destroyed then (after actions have been performed on the ship). A good indicator of programming mistakes inside a Collectible subclass: the collectible doesn't disappear upon touching a ManuallyControlledShip.

Overrides:

hit in class QuantumObject

Parameters:

ship - The object we are interacting with

Returns:

boolean. True if this quantum object should survive, false otherwise.
