initialize

public void initialize(java.lang.String initializer,
                       GameObject parentObjectArg)
                throws GameException

This is a somewhat standard initialize method, but it makes use of a specially-formatted longDescription of the form calories ; pieces ; vegetarian, where calories indicates the number of calories per piece, pieces is the number of times this can be eaten before disappearing, and vegetarian is either "true" or "false"--we look only at the first character to see if it's 't'.

Overrides:

initialize in class RealObject

Following copied from class: RealObject

Parameters:

initializer - A string delimited by tildes, indicating the name, short description, and long description of the object. Subclasses may have additional fields. Should probably throw a Game Exception if pieces are missing.

ClassCastException - if the parentObjectArg is not a RealObject.

public boolean isVegetarian()

Is this thing veggie?

Specified by:

isVegetarian in interface Food

Returns:
