Coding the inanimate and decorative components

In the previous chapter we coded all the interfaces for our component classes. We coded GraphicsComponent, UpdateComponent and InputComponent. Now we will code the three simplest component classes that will be enough to complete quite a few of our specifications.

Let's start with the DecorativeBlockUpdateComponent.

DecorativeBlockUpdateComponent

The update-related components all implement just one method, update. Add a new class called DecorativeBlockUpdateComponent, implement UpdateComponent and add the empty update method as shown next.

class DecorativeBlockUpdateComponent implements UpdateComponent {
    @Override
    public void update(long fps, 
         Transform t, 
         Transform playerTransform) {
        // Do nothing
        // Not even set a collider
    }
}

Yes, the update method is meant to be empty as the decorative objects don't move or collide.

InanmiateBlockGraphicsComponent

Add a new class called InanimateBlockGraphicsComponent...
