All Implemented Interfaces:

ScheduledOperation, Updatable

public class ConnectionManager
extends ScheduledOperationImpl

The Great ConnectionManager is the master of all modularity :) It permits you to "bind" different members of your objects, for example imagine you want to make a door open progressively in your game. Well, create a float interpolator (and configure it correctly). Then connect the angle of your door with this interpolator. Now every time you adjust your interpolator (setAlpha method) your door will have the corresponding angle..

Method Summary

void	connect(java.lang.Object object1, java.lang.String member1, java.lang.Object object2, java.lang.String member2) Connect two objects, so that the specified member of the first object will (nearly) always be equal to the specified member of the second object
void	connect(org.jagatoo.datatypes.Placeable p1, org.jagatoo.datatypes.Placeable p2) Connect two placeable, so that the first placeable will have exactly the same position/angle as the second placeable
void	update(long gameTime, long frameTime, UpdatingThread.TimingMode timingMode) Updates this Updatable object.
