 [TABLE-OF-CONTENTS]

 

 These are a collection of functions to make programming jMonkeyEngine

 in clojure easier.

 

 * Imports

 

 #+name: import

 #+begin_src clojure :results silent

 (ns cortex.import

   (:require swank.util.class-browse))

 

 (defn permissive-import

   [classname]

   (eval `(try (import '~classname)

               (catch java.lang.Exception e#

                 (println "couldn't import " '~classname))))

   classname)

 

 (defn jme-class? [classname]

   (and

    (.startsWith classname "com.jme3.")

    ;; Don't import the LWJGL stuff since it can throw exceptions

    ;;  upon being loaded.

    (not (re-matches #".*Lwjgl.*" classname))))

 

 (defn jme-classes

   "returns a list of all jme3 classes"

   []

   (filter

    jme-class?

    (map :name

         swank.util.class-browse/available-classes)))

   

 (defn mega-import-jme3

   "Import ALL the jme classes. For REPL use."

 #+end_src  

 

 jMonkeyEngine3 has a plethora of classes which can be overwhelming to

 manage. This code uses reflection to import all of them. Once I'm

 happy with the general structure of a namespace I can deal with

 importing only the classes it actually needs.

 

 The =mega-import-jme3= is quite useful for debugging purposes since

 it allows completion for almost all of JME's classes from the REPL.

 

 Out of curiosity, let's see just how many classes =mega-import-jme3=

 imports:

 

 #+begin_src clojure :exports both :results output

 (println (clojure.core/count (cortex.import/jme-classes)) "classes")

 #+end_src

 

 #+results:

 : 955 classes

 

 

 * Utilities

 

 The utilities here come in three main groups:

  - Changing settings in a running =Application=

  - Creating objects

  - Debug Actions

  - Visualizing objects

 

 *** Changing Settings
