My JAVA Animator 🚀

Intro

This project strictly follows MVC pattern. Model handles all the calculations and prepare the data for View. Model doesn't directly communicate to View. Instead, Controller plays as a middle guy sending data back and forth.

Start the animation

TODO

Shape

• comes in 2 types: Ellipse, Rect
• store attribute's : x position, y position, width, height, rgb, these info is used in View to render on canvas
• toString method output the text represantation of this shape
• toSVGString method output SVG Tags <rect> or <ellipse> along with it's attributes

Motion

• comes in 3 types: ChangeColor, Move, Resize
• store attribute's : startTime, endTime, and specific data related to each class.
• store "Shape" reference (which this motion applys to) inside this class. With this, I can directly do calucations and easily set the delta values on the target Shape.
• toString method output the text represantation of this motion
• toSVGString method output SVG Tags <animate> along with it's attributes

Model

• use HashMap to store different Shapes read from input source
• use ArrayList to store Motions ead from input source
• addShape and addMotion
• implement whatever View needs

Controller

• start method calling View display() function to start the animation
• delegate whatever View needs to Model

View

• comes in two Views: ViewGUI, ViewText (svg file and system.out)
• void display(int speed), display the output in given speed.
• void addController(IController c), store the reference to Controller, letting View to have access to Controller, so that it can get data from Model
