simpleUpdate

Troubleshooting gui
1

I have no idea what exactly how to ask the question. It is like this:

In one class Poker I do different things:

[java] mPokerCards.shuffleCards();

getCards();

mCardsInHand.showCards(mPlayerCards);

changeCards();

[/java]

when it goes to the third function it starts the visual part and shows the cards. Here it goes into a loop ( the simpleUpdate) and I don’t know how to make it pass to the next function( changeCards), and the visual to still remain on the screen.

I don’t know if I made myself clear, I’m really sorry about this.

Thanks

then your showCards is bugged then :

  1. do you use nifty to show them or create nodes for each card?

I create nodes for each card

I have something like this:



[java]public class GUIDisplay extends SimpleApplication implements Display

{

public void holdCards(Vector<Short> cardsHold) {

}

public void showCards(Vector<Card> playerCards) {

start();

}

public void showWin(int result, int totalMoney) {

}

public int gameOver(int totalMoney) {

return 1;

}

[/java]

after this I have the simpleInitApp and the simpleUpdate in which I show the cards. After it show the cards I want it to finish with the showCards and continue but I want it to still be on the screen. I am 100% certain that I do not know something or I am doing something wrong but I don’t know what. Probably I don’t understand it quite ok how everything is working

Thanks in advance

your code is wrong, classic mistake you put your code in “main”.

After SimpleApplication.start(); you cannot call any java command from “main” afterwords. Because jme method “start()” does infitive_loop (and lasts forever).

You have 2 solutions :

  1. put your logic / code in simpleInit();
  2. put your logic / code in simpleUpdate();

ok and how do I put in simpleInit/simpleUpdate about 10 .java files :)) it’s a bit more complex.

I did 2 displays …

  1. the consoleDisplay that implements the interface Display - it’s already done and it works ok
  2. the GUIDisplay and this is the one that I want to implement right now and by doing so I will just modify some small code from my initial program.

    Can you pls give me some ideas?

1) You must have only one class than extends SimpleApplication. You can call methods of other classes from this simple Application class.
2) http://hub.jmonkeyengine.org/groups/general-2/forum/topic/loading-spatials-from-an-outside-class/
another person had a similar problem, he didnt know how to call methods from another class. So this may help you.
3) About consoleDisplay / GuiDisplay you did it in nifty ? then fromXml should take care things alone.

What you want to do is use AppStates and Controls instead.

thanks for the answers I will look into it and see what needs to be done :slight_smile: have a lot to learn about it
