How to add to project

To use in your project add the following repositories in your build.gradle. Then this project as a dependency with a specified version.

repositories {
    maven { url 'https://s01.oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/' }
    maven { url 'https://s01.oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/releases/' }
}

dependency {
    implementation 'com.vabrantgames.actionsystem:actionsystem:version'
}

Usage

1. Implement Interface

Any class that is to be actioned should implement at least one interface to add functionality.

• Movable
• Colorable
• Rotatable
• Scalable
• Shakable
• Zoomable

public class Square implements Movable {
    
    private float x;
    private float y;
    
    @Override
    public void setX(float x) {
        this.x = x;
    }
    
    @Override
    public void setY(float y) {
        this.y = y;
    }
    
    @Override
    public float getX() {
        return x;
    }
    
    @Override
    public float getY() {
        return y;
    }
}

Note: Depending on which interfaces are implemented determines what actions can be used. A class that only implements Movable can not be used for actions that reply on Colorable.

2. Create ActionManager

Create an ActionManager in a top level class like your screen or main game class.

ActionManager actionManager = new ActionManager();

Then in your render method or wherever you update your objects, update the ActionManager by passing in the delta time. actionManager.update(delta);

Note: You can get the delta at Gdx.graphics.getDeltaTime();

3. Create An Action

Actions can easily be created from static helpers located in the action you are trying to use.

MoveAction action = MoveAction.moxeXBy(square, amount, duration, interpolation);

4. Add Action To ActionManager

actionManager.add(action);
