Interface Collidable<T>

All Superinterfaces:

java.lang.Comparable<Renderable>, Renderable, Tangible

All Known Implementing Classes:

public interface Collidable<T>
extends Renderable

A object that implements Collidable is checked every game cycle to make sure it is not touching any other Collidable object of the given type. If the object is touching another Collidable object of the specified type then the collide method will be called.

For example, if your GameItem implements Collidable<GameItem> then you will need to write the collide(GameItem otherObject), which will be called whenever this object collides with any other GameItem. If you want to make your GameItem only collide with a specific type of object such as a PowerUp, then you would implement Collidable<PowerUp> and write a collide(PowerUp otherObject) method.
