4217403 Previously the extension methods were spread around the utility classes. With these changes, all additions that provide pseudo-random values have been unified and aggregated into one API: Game.random() Some prominent examples of API changes:

  • ArrayUtilities.getRandom(...) -> Game.random().choose(...)
  • CollectionUtilities.random(...) -> Game.random().choose(...)
  • MathUtilities.randomSign() -> Game.random().nextSign()
  • MathUtilities.getRandomIndex(...) -> Game.random().getIndex(...)
  • ...

Changes

  • 56a123e Use java.nio.charset instead of constants strings for charsets
  • eef04d2 Consulted entity AI related namespaces under de.gurkenlabs.litiengine.entities.behavior
  • 9a78dc4 Unified some event names:
    • ICombatEntity.addHitListener -> ICombatEntity.onHit
    • ICombatEntity.addDeathListener -> ICombatEntity.onDeath
