Purpose
 This is the second part of the document „Introduction to
Greenfoot“ and focuses on understanding 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,
http://www.greenfoot.org


Outline
 Class Display Revisited
 Class Editor
 The Leaf Class
 The Wombat Class
 The WombatWorld Class


Class Display Revisited

 Class display contains all classes which are used in a scenario
 Class World and Actor are abstract superclasses, part of the
Greenfoot system
 Scenario wombats has 2 actor classes (Wombat, Leaf)


Class Editor (1)
 We can modify objects behaviour by
editing the source code of the
corresponding class

 To display the source code editor:
– Double-click the class
– Right-click the class, choose the item
„Open editor“


Class Editor (2)


The Leaf Class
 The simplest class compared to the Wombat and
WombatWorld class
 Leaf objects do nothing!
 As you can see in the previous slide, the Leaf class has no
statement and consists of an empty constructor


The Wombat Class (1)
import necessary packages

class header;
Wombat is a subclass
from Actor

data (constants and
variables)

class constructor and
methods


 4 constants : EAST, WEST,
NORTH, SOUTH
 2 variables : direction,
leavesEaten
 1 constructor : Wombat()
 8 methods :
– getLeavesEaten(), foundLeaf(),
eatLeaf()
– setDirection(), turnLeft()
– canMove(), move()
– act()



constructor  initialising
direction and leavesEaten

is there any Leaf object
in my position? this method is inherited from
the superclass Actor

remove that Leaf object
update the variable
leavesEaten



this method is inherited from
the superclass Actor



change direction 90 degrees
to the left



these methods are
inherited from Actor
new coordinate
if the object moves
forward;
depends on
its direction

checks if the object
reaches the edges of the world


if object reaches one of
the borders, do nothing!

the object moves setLocation() is
forward; inherited from Actor
depends on
its direction



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
the left!


The WombatWorld Class (1)
 1 constructor : WombatWorld()
 2 methods :
– populate()
– randomLeaves()



calls the World constructor

sets the background.
the method is inherited
from the superclass World

Create a Leaf object at a random
position (x,y); repeat howmany
times
