Class ModularLevelParser

java.lang.Object
  vooga.engine.factory.LevelParser
      vooga.widget.levelparse.ModularLevelParser

All Implemented Interfaces:

LevelFactory

public class ModularLevelParser
extends LevelParser

Allows the creation of modules which describe how to parse any kind of BetterSprite. Currently only added a modular parsing structure to the parsing of BetterSprites from an XML file. It needs a moduleMapPathKey which is a the key to look up a String in Resources. That string is the file path of a properties file which maps the module attribute of the BetterSprite Element to a SpriteModule which will be used to parse the BetterSprite. The module is created by reflection using the module map properties file You can write the Module to parse the BetterSprite however you want. The built in BetterSpriteModule replicates the current functionality of LevelParser. For an example of this class being awesome, look in Tower Defense under the levelparse package. LevelButtons, a custom class, are created using custom parameters.

ModularLevelParser layoutReader = new ModularLevelParser("moduleMapProperties"); addPlayField(layoutReader.getPlayfield(Resources.getString("mainMenuLayoutPath"), Resources.getGame()));
