class Passage

extends GameObject

Keep track of the connections among rooms. This is the one kind of GameObject that doesn't inherit from RealObject, so it doesn't have much of the functionality you've come to know and love; for example, it can't be inside of or contain other objects.

Method Detail

doAction

public void doAction()

Remind the world that we exist and where we go

Overrides:

doAction in class GameObject

initialize

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

Initialize a passage. Will register itself with the Rooms it connects.

Overrides:

initialize in class GameObject

Parameters:

initializer - RoomName1~direction1~RoomName2~direction2

parentObjectArg - must be null for Passages

otherEnd

public Room otherEnd(Room thisEnd)

What's at our other end? (If you create a subclass with multi-ended Passages, this method needs to be overridden. Experiment with deterministic and stochastic ways of finding the other end.)

Parameters:

thisEnd - a Room at one end of this Passage

Returns:

the Room at the other end of this Passage, or null if thisEnd is not one of the ends.
