[simspark-devel] APL final design

[<ah...@un...>]

Hello,


This is probably the final design for the APL. If no major objections are
raised, I will start working with this on Monday.

As last time, non-continouus arrows denote that exactly one out of the
possible inheritances is picked. If you have trouble understanding the
lower right portion, try to imagine what the diagram would look like
without either BoxCollider or SphereCollider.
Note that this design completely avoids multiple inheritances. :) It will
probably need a few more preprocessor commands, though.

I apologize for sending so many mails, design proposals and questions to
the mailing list. I had a very tough time during the last two weeks that
consisted of making mistakes, learning from them, figuring out how to
avoid them and then making new mistakes. I knew nothing about simspark and
am still a very unexperienced programmer.

One last thing to Hedayat: I think I misread your question. There are no
required diamond inheritances, it was a requirement to NOT have them, as
they caused problems that I couldn't solve.


thanks for all the help I got so far,

Andreas
