Introduction to Greenfoot Eueung Mulyana | kakihijau.googlepages.com 3 Purpose  This is the second part of the document „Introduction to Greenfoot“ and focuses on two topics: modification and programming of the wombats scenario  Part of the content of these slides is based on the Greenfoot Tutorial made by Michael Koelling, publicly accesible at the Greenfoot website,

Introduction to Greenfoot Eueung Mulyana | kakihijau.googlepages.com 5 Changing the Behaviour (1)  We want to change the behaviour of Wombat objects : instead of always turning left, they shall be able to turn to other directions in a random way  We will add an additional method, called turnRandom()  Open the source code of the Wombat class, add the following codes call turnLeft() turns times Generate a random number between 0 and 3

Introduction to Greenfoot Eueung Mulyana | kakihijau.googlepages.com 6 Changing the Behaviour (2) if you find leaves, eat ! if you don‘t find leaves, but you can move forward, then move! if you don‘t find leaves and you also cannot move, then turn to a random direction!

Introduction to Greenfoot Eueung Mulyana | kakihijau.googlepages.com 8 Changing Representations (1)  Visual representation (image) of an object can be changed in two different ways –Changing the „class image“; in this way, all objects of the same class shall look the same (to the assigned class image) –Changing the image programmatically; in this way, objects of the same class might look different, depending on the implementation  These two ways might be combined!

Introduction to Greenfoot Eueung Mulyana | kakihijau.googlepages.com 14 Creating New Classes (1)  We could not only modify the behaviour of objects, but also add a completely new type of objects i.e. create new classes  Right-click the class Actor and choose item „New subclass...“, enter the class name and select a class image in the dialog; Greenfoot will automatically generate your class !  In this case we add a new class, called Rock. The image for this class is already available in the wombats scenario folder class image for the Rock class images available in the wombats scenario folder

Introduction to Greenfoot Eueung Mulyana | kakihijau.googlepages.com 16 Creating New Classes (3) check all Rock objects in front of you; if there is no Rock object, return true (i.e. okay it‘s clear!), otherwise return false (i.e. you cannot move!)  To stop wombats from walking through rocks...
