Detailed Description

The Solver Class.

The Solver Class main functionality is to evolve a Particles direction accoriding to its specified rules. The Solver Class is the Super Class and all the inheriting classes need to implement the abstract methods. A Solver updates the particle movement using the given forces.

Member Function Documentation

void Solver::addForce (  Force *  f  )

A public Function. Adds a Force to this Solver to affect the Particle Parameters: f  a pointer to the Force to be added Definition at line 31 of file Solver.cpp. References forces. Referenced by fire(), multiCollision(), and smoke().

void Solver::listForces (   )

A public Function. Prints all the Forces to stdout. Definition at line 22 of file Solver.cpp. References forces, and forcesItt.

virtual void ParticleSystems::Solver::nextStep (  GraphicsLib::Vector *  direction, float *  mass )  [pure virtual]

An abstract Function. Evolves the given direction Vector by applying the Forces assigned to this Solver. This function also takes into consideration the mass passed. Parameters: direction  a pointer to the direction Vector to change mass  the mass of the Particle Implemented in ParticleSystems::StraightSolver.

virtual void ParticleSystems::Solver::nextStep (  GraphicsLib::Vector *  direction  )  [pure virtual]

An abstract Function. Evolves the given direction Vector by applying the Forces assigned to this Solver. Parameters: direction  a pointer to the direction Vector to change Implemented in ParticleSystems::StraightSolver. Referenced by ParticleSystems::StrikeParticle::update(), ParticleSystems::PointParticle::update(), and ParticleSystems::ImgParticle::update().

void Solver::removeForce (  Force *  f  )

A public Function. Removes a Force from this Solver Parameters: f  a pointer to the Force to be removed Definition at line 37 of file Solver.cpp. References forces, and forcesItt.
