Function Documentation

nnctime operator- (  nnctime &    a, nnctime &    b )

difference operator between ncctimes deduces the difference between time a and b. Returns: the difference in time between a and b. Definition at line 42 of file util.cpp. References nnctime::msecs, and nnctime::secs.

Rect Util_BuildRect (  int   , int   , int   , int    )

Quick method to build a rect. Returns: a rect with the four parameters of the call. Definition at line 75 of file util.cpp. References Rect. Referenced by Graphics::blitclip(), Background::Draw(), GameObject::GetBoundingRect(), and ExplodeObject::think().

Velocity Util_BuildVelocity (  double    dx, double    dy, nnctime *    old, nnctime *    now = NULL )

Function build a velocity based on time samples. Todo: finish Util_BuildVelocity Parameters: dx  change in x dy  change in y old  before dx,dy occured now  after dx,dy occured Returns: velocity structure describing the change in distance Definition at line 85 of file util.cpp. References Velocity::dx, Velocity::dy, nnctime::msecs, Velocity::pertime, nnctime::secs, and Util_DiffTime().

nnctime Util_DiffTime (  nnctime *    old, nnctime *    now = NULL )

Does a difference between an old time and a new time. Parameters: old  nnctime of earlier event now  nnctime of later event or NULL for "now" Returns: a nnctime structure as the difference in time between old and now. Definition at line 20 of file util.cpp. References nnctime::msecs, nnctime::secs, and Util_GetTime(). Referenced by Application::Run(), Crosshair::think(), Util_BuildVelocity(), and Util_TimePassed().

int Util_FindBestSurfaceSize (  int    w, int    h )

Finds a good size for a texture. Returns an integer in the power of 2 that will cover the width and height provided Definition at line 169 of file util.cpp. Referenced by Graphics::TexturizeSurface().

nnctime Util_GetTime (    )

Gets the current time. This function uses SDL_GetTicks to determine the current clock. Returns: a nnctime struct of the current time Definition at line 9 of file util.cpp. References nnctime::msecs, and nnctime::secs. Referenced by Bear::Bear(), BearSpawnPoint::BearSpawnPoint(), Sprite::EnableAnimation(), ExplodeObject::ExplodeObject(), MainChar::FireWeapon(), Application::Run(), MainChar::setWalking(), UFO::think(), Crosshair::think(), UFO::UFO(), Util_DiffTime(), Util_Random(), and Util_TimePassed().

bool Util_Intersect (  Rect &    R1, Rect &    R2 )

Determine if two rectangles intersect. Rectangles that share an edge don't intersect; only when the two rectangles share some area do they intersect. Parameters: R1  rectangle 1 R2  rectangle 2 Returns: true if R1 and R2 intersect. Definition at line 110 of file util.cpp. References Rect. Referenced by ObjectManager::FindFirstCollision().

vector<Surface *> Util_parseImage (  string    filename )

Load surfaces from a file description. This function will read in from a file and create a vector of surfaces to pass to a sprite (or other) class for future use. Todo: instead of Surfaces, return a vector of structures that describe not only the sprite frame, but it's bounding box and central location, etc. Parameters: filename  the name of the file to open and read from. Returns: a vector of Surface pointers. The vector is empty if the file cannot be opened. Definition at line 145 of file util.cpp. References Sprite::cache, and SpriteCache::Find(). Referenced by Bear::Bear(), Crosshair::Crosshair(), MainChar::MainChar(), and UFO::UFO().

int Util_Random (  int    max )

Return a random number. Parameters: max  the high end of the random number Returns: an integer between [0, max) Definition at line 96 of file util.cpp. References nnctime::secs, and Util_GetTime(). Referenced by MainChar::FireWeapon(), BearSpawnPoint::think(), UFO::think(), and UFO::UFO().

int Util_TimePassed (  nnctime *    old, Uint32    ms )

Use to find how many times over a time has elapsed. Parameters: old  the last update time ms  the time in milliseconds Returns: a number defining how many times ms has elapsed since old. If greater than 0, old is set to Util_GetTime(). Definition at line 56 of file util.cpp. References nnctime::msecs, nnctime::secs, Util_DiffTime(), and Util_GetTime(). Referenced by Sprite::animate(), Bear::think(), BearSpawnPoint::think(), Crosshair::think(), ExplodeObject::think(), MainChar::think(), and UFO::think().
