Nested Class Summary

static class	GravityType.HighGravityType This standard subclass is used to classify a surface gravity which is slightly heavier than that of Earth and which most beings would find oppressive.
static class	GravityType.LowGravityType This standard subclass is used to classify a surface gravity which is much less than that of Earth, but still enough that objects won't simply fly of the surface.
static class	GravityType.NormalGravityType This standard subclass is used to classify a surface gravity which is essentially the same as that of Earth.
static class	GravityType.UltraHighGravityType This standard subclass is used to classify a surface gravity which is so heavy that most beings would be instantly crushed into paste by it.
static class	GravityType.ZeroGravityType This standard subclass is used to classify a surface gravity which is so weak that it is eseentially non- existent (e.g.

Constructor Detail

GravityType

protected GravityType(java.lang.String aName,
                      java.lang.String aBackStory)

This constructor is used to construct instances of this class. It should not be necessary for callers to invoke this directly, since all gravity types should be created automatically.

Parameters:

aName - The short localized name of the gravity type.

aBackStory - A localized description of the gravity type.

Method Detail

instanceForMakeup

public static GravityType instanceForMakeup(SimpleAccrete.PlanetaryMakeup aMakeup)

This class method returns the gravity type instance which best matches the given planetary make-up.

Parameters:

aMakeup - A planetary make-up to be matched against.
