16. When you're done, simply parse through the
tilesToDelete
list, remove the
tile from
cachedTiles
, and detach it from
Spatial
.
17. There is one more thing we need to do before leaving the class. In the
setSpa-
tial
method, we should add a call to
updateTiles
, supplying
Vector-
2f.ZERO
to it to initialize the generation of the tile.
For a larger implementation, we might want to introduce an
AppState
instance
to handle this, but here we will manage it with a test application.
18. First of all, we need to disable
flyCam
with
flyCam.setEnabled(false)
and possibly move the camera to some distance from the ground.
19. Then, create a
Node
class called
worldNode
and an
EndlessWorldCon-
trol
instance called
worldControl
. Attach
worldNode
to
rootNode
and
supply the
worldControl
object with a material before adding it to
worldNode
and setting the camera.
20. Finally, set up some keys to control the movement and add the
worldControl
object as a listener; refer to the following code on how to do this:
inputManager.addMapping("Forward", new
KeyTrigger(KeyInput.KEY_UP));
inputManager.addMapping("Back", new
KeyTrigger(KeyInput.KEY_DOWN));
inputManager.addMapping("Left", new
KeyTrigger(KeyInput.KEY_LEFT));
inputManager.addMapping("Right", new
KeyTrigger(KeyInput.KEY_RIGHT));
inputManager.addListener(worldControl, "Forward",
"Back", "Left", "Right");
