So, again, I need help with a design issue. ;-))) I am trying to translate and rotate, following user input, a couple of triangles for a game.
Sure enough, to get the user input, I have: public class TangroidView extends SurfaceView implements SurfaceHolder.Callback Only, what class should I use/extend for the triangles? Or should I go from scratch? I could extend View because it get user input but View is rectangular which is not OK for clicking on the triangle. By the way, may View be other than rectangular? Should I extend ShapeDrawable which takes a Path but, as it, does not take user input? Create a png file of the triangle but... the ImageView will be rectangular again? Or yet, go with OpenGL 3D but use only the 2D? They seem to have some nice methods to move and rotate shapes... Or go totally from scratch calculating if the user clicks inside of the triangle (a closed Path) and the coordinates to move the triangle subsequently? By the way, none of existing graphic objects (Path, for instance) keeps track and return the coordinates of the points that have been used to create them. And... it doesn't look like there is a Coordinates class. So, I feel like there is no suitable class to extend for them, so should I go from scratch? Meaning… getting the coordinates of the user clicks, then calculating, using determinants, to see if it falls on the triangle and which one, then move or rotate this particular triangle by calculating its new coordinates… which is quite. Will the phone be able to handle all those calculations? That’s why I was first trying to see if there is a class with a suitable behavior for me to extend.
