Subject: JSW guardian-class economy
I have just written a couple of Java utilities that facilitate the
reuse of existing guardian-classes in a JSW game, by retrieving ones
that match a given query.
* LookupVGsJSW retrieves vertical guardians whose top and bottom
boundaries fall within given limits.
* LookupHGsJSW retrieves horizontal guardians on a given row (or up
to 7 pixels above that row), whose left and right boundaries fall
within given limits.
These two functions will be included in the next release of
SPECSAISIE (version 1.3 - no target release-date), which will add
some other useful functions such as:
* RoomReachJSW: lists the rooms from which a given room can be
reached (I should extend this to recognise teleports).
* GuardianClassUseJSW: lists the instances of a given guardian-class
(JSW CK can do this too).
* SpritePageUseJSW: lists the guardian-classes that use a given
sprite-page.
