Slick Forums

Are the Polygon and ConvexPolygon collision volumes supported for actors?

Yes, you can bind any shape to an Actor, including Polygons and ConvexPolygons.

If you have some specific questions about Phys2D, you can also ask them in the Phys2D forums that are right below this Extensions forum.

While I did a tight integration with my stuff, most of it operates the same as the standalone library.

Effects added in but not uploaded. I'll probably add in one more Effects class called PedigreeEffect that wraps up a Pedigree-made effect for you.

Too bad that I sorta fell asleep on my desk before I could implement an actual effect.

Changes to the geom package will have an effect on slickset. Rectangle's fields are no longer public.

Thanks for the heads up. I will adjust accordingly.

I'll release 0.3.0 next weekend hopefully with these fixes and the pluggable effects stuff. Having a job has been putting a cramp on my free time, but this'll come through.

I was trying to create a basic background with this code:

and saw my image clipped to 640x480.

Then I found where the clip size was coming from:



looking at the code I should have called setScene on the Layer to set the viewport dimensions, but it might be a more sensible default to apply the image dimensions on the viewport in the ImageLayer constructor. Or maybe do a setScene() on the layer in the addForegroundLayer and addBackgroundLayer functions of ParallaxLayer.

That was my mistake. I'll fix that in the coming release.

java.lang.IllegalAccessError: tried to access field org.newdawn.slick.geom.Shape.x from class com.slickset.layer.ImageLayer

I know what the cause is, but I don't understand why the demos run since they use this, too.

I tried compiling the sources for SlickSet, and this protected access issue is allover the place.

I've fixed some errors in SlickSet where it was referencing private and/or protected properties of Slick without using getters.

When applying a force of great magnitude (e.x. explosion) to an object, the object's velocity can become so large that it flies through collidable objects.

That last one sounds like something for Kev to look into. As for the fixes, I'll have metziel give you SVN access if you step back into IRC. Seems like my weekends are all shot, so I'll have a rough time updating this.

Did you ever get SVN access? I e-mailed my webmaster about it, but I never received confirmation that you got it, nor did I see any commits on SVN.

- Jon

Sorry for the delays. I'll have the next version out soon. The fixes have been applied, but I'll finish the effects stuff before committing and releasing.

Edit - Fixed the geom package stuff with JA's patch.

Edit 2 - Fixed the ImageLayer viewport default stuff.

Edit 3 - In SVN. I'll write up a few test effects before I release.
