Booty5

Class: Xoml

b5. Xoml

b5.Xoml

new b5.Xoml(app){b5.Xoml}

core/xoml.js, line 68

The Xoml class loads XOML format JSON (exported from the Booty5 game editor) and turns it into Booty5 compatible objects

Xoml format data looks as follows:

 b5.data.globals = [
      {
          "RT": "Geometry",
          "N": "rect3762",
          "GT": "Poly",
          "A": false,
          "V": [-126.336,-106.399, -42.018,-90.992, 153.614,46.411, -66.468,106.4, -153.614,-7.28]
      },
      {
          "RT": "Shape",
          "N": "rect3761",
          "ST": "Polygon",
          "W": 0,
          "H": 0,
          "A": false,
          "V": [-126.336,-106.399, -42.018,-90.992, 153.614,46.411, -66.468,106.4, -153.614,-7.28]
      }
 ];

Examples

Example showing code that loads JSON and converts it to Booty5 objects:

 // Create XOML loader
 var xoml = new b5.Xoml(app);

 // Parse and create global resources placing them into the app
 xoml.parseResources(app, xoml_globals);

Example showing how to dynamically create an actor from XOML template

 var app = b5.app;

 // This scene will receive a copy of ball object
 var game_scene = app.findScene("gamescene");

 // Search Xoml gamescene for ball icon actor resource
 var ball_template = b5.Xoml.findResource(b5.data.gamescene, "ball", "icon");

 // Create ball from the Xoml template and add it to game_scene
 var xoml = new b5.Xoml(app);
 xoml.current_scene = game_scene;    // Xoml system needs to know current scene so it knows where to look for dependent resources
 var ball = xoml.parseResource(game_scene, ball_template);
 ball.setPosition(0, -350);
 ball.vx = 4;
 ball.fill_style = "rgb(" + ((Math.random() * 255) << 0) + "," + ((Math.random() * 255) << 0) + "," + ((Math.random() * 255) << 0) + ")";
