public class Layer

Object
Layer

A named drawing band in a GameLevel: the editor’s “Background / Terrain / Items / Actors” rows, and the rendering order behind them.

A layer has a #getKind() – Kind#TILE layers paint a grid of asset ids into cells (stored as a "col,row" -> assetId map), while Kind#ENTITY and Kind#MODEL layers just group freely-placed GameElements. #isVisible() and #isLocked() mirror the editor toggles; #getBand() is the layer’s slot in the stack and is folded into the rendered z-order (band * 1000 + per-sprite z) so a higher layer always draws over a lower one.

Nested types

enum Layer.Kind What a layer holds, which decides how its content is realized.

Constructors

`public Layer()`
`public Layer(String name, Layer.Kind kind)`

Methods

`public` `String getName()`
`public` `Layer setName(String name)`
`public` `Layer.Kind getKind()`	What this layer holds (`Kind#TILE` / `Kind#ENTITY` / `Kind#MODEL`).
`public` `Layer setKind(Layer.Kind kind)`
`public boolean isVisible()`
`public` `Layer setVisible(boolean visible)`
`public boolean isLocked()`
`public` `Layer setLocked(boolean locked)`
`public int getBand()`
`public` `Layer setBand(int band)`
`public float getParallaxX()`	The horizontal parallax factor applied to every sprite realized from this layer (default `1` = scrolls with the world).
`public float getParallaxY()`	The vertical parallax factor for this layer (default `1`); see `#getParallaxX()`.
`public` `Layer setParallax(float x, float y)`
`public` `Map<String, String> tiles()`	The raw `"col,row" -> assetId` map for a tile layer.
`public static` `String cellKey(int col, int row)`	The cell key used in the tile map for a column and row.
`public` `Layer putTile(int col, int row, String assetId)`	Paints an asset into a tile cell (no-op safety: a null assetId clears it).
`public` `String getTile(int col, int row)`	The asset id painted at a cell, or null if the cell is empty.
`public` `Layer removeTile(int col, int row)`

Constructor details

Layer

public Layer()

Layer

public Layer(String name, Layer.Kind kind)

Method details

getName

public String getName()

setName

public Layer setName(String name)

getKind

public Layer.Kind getKind()

What this layer holds (Kind#TILE / Kind#ENTITY / Kind#MODEL).

setKind

public Layer setKind(Layer.Kind kind)

isVisible

public boolean isVisible()

setVisible

public Layer setVisible(boolean visible)

isLocked

public boolean isLocked()

setLocked

public Layer setLocked(boolean locked)

getBand

public int getBand()

setBand

public Layer setBand(int band)

getParallaxX

public float getParallaxX()

The horizontal parallax factor applied to every sprite realized from this layer (default 1 = scrolls with the world). A background layer of clouds/mountains uses a small factor (e.g. 0.3) so it drifts behind the foreground as the camera scrolls.

getParallaxY

public float getParallaxY()

The vertical parallax factor for this layer (default 1); see #getParallaxX().

setParallax

public Layer setParallax(float x, float y)

tiles

public Map<String, String> tiles()

The raw "col,row" -> assetId map for a tile layer.

cellKey

public static String cellKey(int col, int row)

The cell key used in the tile map for a column and row.

putTile

public Layer putTile(int col, int row, String assetId)

Paints an asset into a tile cell (no-op safety: a null assetId clears it).

getTile

public String getTile(int col, int row)

The asset id painted at a cell, or null if the cell is empty.

removeTile

public Layer removeTile(int col, int row)
