Introduction
This chapter is about controlling avatars and cameras for various game types. Whether your
game is a
first person shooter
(
FPS
),
role playing game
(
RPG
), or
real-time strategy
(
RTS
) game, you'll learn some tricks that will help you get past tricky obstacles.
The chapter will rely heavily on the
ActionListener
and
AnalogListener
inter-
faces. These are essential when listening for the player input in jMonkeyEngine. The
Ac-
tionListener
interface will pick up any binary input such as keyboard keys or mouse
buttons. The
AnalogListener
interface listens for mouse and joystick movements and
other input that is either on or off.
