Time for action – let's do some drawing!


Time to implement the drawing inside LineContainer.cpp. You will notice that this class already has most of its methods implemented, so you can save a little typing.

But basically LineContainer will be used to display the lines the player draws on screen to manipulate _rocket sprite, as well as display an energy bar that acts as a sort of timer in our game:

  1. What we need to change here is the update method. So this is what you need to type inside that method:

    _energy -= dt * _energyDecrement;
    if (_energy < 0) _energy = 0;
    clear();
    
    switch (_lineType) {
      case LINE_NONE:
       break;
      case LINE_TEMP:
       drawLine(_tip, _pivot, Color4F(1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0));
       drawDot(_pivot, 5, Color4F(Color3B::WHITE));
       break;
                
      case LINE_DASHED:
       drawDot(_pivot, 5, Color4F(Color3B::WHITE));
       int segments = _lineLength / (_dash + _dashSpace);
       float t = 0.0f;
