 [TABLE-OF-CONTENTS]

 

 These are a collection of functions to make programming jMonkeyEngine

 in clojure easier.

 #+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-class-names)) "classes")

 #+end_src

 

 #+results:

 : 938 classes

 

 

 * Utilities

 

 The utilities here come in three main groups:

  - Changing settings in a running =Application=

  - Creating objects

  - Debug Actions

  - Visualizing objects

 

 *** Changing Settings

 Here I make the =Viewable= protocol and extend it to JME's types.  Now

 JME3's =hello-world= can be written as easily as:

 

 #+begin_src clojure :results silent

 (cortex.util/view (cortex.util/box))

 #+end_src
