Interface CharacterManager

All Superinterfaces:

com.sun.sgs.app.ManagedObject

All Known Implementing Classes:

AICharacterManager, BasicCharacterManager, PlayerCharacterManager

public interface CharacterManager
extends com.sun.sgs.app.ManagedObject

This interface defines all classes that manage Character instances. In essence, a Character represents a single avitar in the game, but not the way that it's moved around between elements of the world, the way in which it communicates with its master (e.g., a player or some AI timing loop), etc. Throughout the code, especially when we need to track references, CharacterManagers are used to manage Character interaction.
