  • Method Details

    • identifier

      String identifier()
      A unique identifier for this force, can be used as name as well.
      Returns:
      the unique identifier

    • update

      boolean update(float dt)
      Called with the update cycle of the related object. If assigned to multiple objects, this will be called multiple times per update cycles. The order in the calls happen is undefined and therefore its not recommended to assign a force, which changes over time or in relation to anything else, to multiple objects. Constant forces like gravity however can be reused of course.
      Parameters:
      dt - the delta time passed by the update cycle
      Returns:
      whether the force has changed due to this call

    • direction

      org.joml.Vector2f direction()
      The direction and strength of this force as Vector2f.
      Returns:
      the force as vector
