Field Detail

eaten

boolean eaten

This is a temporary variable used only in doAction and its anonymous inner class, but it would be a lot of effort and inconvenience to encapsulate it, so I didn't.

hunger

protected double hunger

How hungry are we? 0.0 means not at all; 100.0 means we'll try every turn.

vegetarian

protected boolean vegetarian

Vegetarians eat only vegetarian food; non-vegetarians eat only meat.

Animal()

Method Detail

doAction

public void doAction()

If we're hungry enough, search the room for a food item and eat it if it matches our diet. Currently, that just checks the vegetarian flag, but it should probably call some new method which can get overridden. That would make it easier to implement Dog as an Animal without mucking up Cat.

Overrides:

doAction in class Wanderer
