Summary for the first exam (Fri, Feb 14) in COSC 3550

You can bring one 3x5 notecard (both sides) if you would like.

Anything that we've talked about in class is fair game.
I've listed some of the main topics below (in no particular order).
I've also listed some of the pieces of code which we've discussed.

Topics:

JavaFX Drawing commands
Frame rate
Animation basics
Finite State Machines
JavaFX graphics coordinate system
Sprites
Bitmap images
Events
Event handlers
  Lambda expressions
Bouncing (off horizontal or vertical boundary)
Collision testing
  box-box
  ball-ball
Bounding boxes
Simulating gravity
Vector arithmetic
Affine transformations

General concepts:

Using variables (often in objects) to store data which
  describes the current scene.
Using a Finite State Machine to control
  game state/character state.
Using counters to "wait a bit" before something happens.
Using vectors to represent velocity and forces/acceleration.

Code you should be familiar with:

TrafficJam.java
EventDemo.java
Fly.java
Pong game
KeyInput demo
Target mouse event demo
ForestFire game
Skeet game
