   +----mheg5.MCM.Engine
public class Engine
extends Object

Constructor Index

o Engine(String, String)
The main constructor of a Engine.

Method Index

o decreaseCallStackDepth()
o increaseCallStackDepth()
o InputTranslatorForDeprecatedEvents(int, Event)
Engine.InputTranslator (ForDeprecatedEvents...) It translates the raw JavaKeyCode to the Mheg-5KeyCode.
o LinkProcessor(Array)
This method is used by Link.java in order to establish a Linkeffect described in the Mheg-5 IS standard.
o Loop()
The main Loop()
At first all actions in the actionQueue will be performed via call ActionCore.execute( action).
After this alle events will be performed via call CheckEvent of every Object in the scene.
o receiveTimerEvents(MhegEvent)
This method is used by Scene to send TimerEvents to the eventQueue.

Constructors

o Engine 
  public Engine(String objectBasePath,
                String groupIdentifier)
The main constructor of a Engine. The first action (LAUNCH) will be created and appended to the ActionQueue.
Parameters:
groupIdentifer - name String of the presentation
objectBasePath - path String to mheg-5 file

main

Methods

o InputTranslatorForDeprecatedEvents 
  public void InputTranslatorForDeprecatedEvents(int eventRegister,
                                                 Event event)
Engine.InputTranslator (ForDeprecatedEvents...) It translates the raw JavaKeyCode to the Mheg-5KeyCode. This method is used by the MhegKeyHandler for delivering KeyEvents throw the Engine into the EventRegister. 'deprecated' means: the entire Project is able to be compiled and run in a jdk1.0.2-environment.
Parameters:
eventRegister - a int identifer for the register
rawEvent - a int representing the JavaKeyCode

MhegKeyHandler
o receiveTimerEvents 
  public void receiveTimerEvents(MhegEvent event)
This method is used by Scene to send TimerEvents to the eventQueue. Attention: this is done by another thread. don't do anything else than the append command!
o LinkProcessor 
  public void LinkProcessor(Array linkEffect)
This method is used by Link.java in order to establish a Linkeffect described in the Mheg-5 IS standard.
Parameters:
linkEffect - a Array of elementary actions

o increaseCallStackDepth 
  public void increaseCallStackDepth()
o decreaseCallStackDepth 
  public void decreaseCallStackDepth()
o Loop 
  public synchronized void Loop()
The main Loop()
At first all actions in the actionQueue will be performed via call ActionCore.execute( action).
After this alle events will be performed via call CheckEvent of every Object in the scene. This is not a 'true loop', i.e. there is no 'while(true)' or a for (;;) - statement. - here are only the actionQueue and the eventQueue are worked through. => normally this method (Engine.Loop()) terminates.
