Interface PhysicalProperties

public interface PhysicalProperties

This class encapsulates those physical properties of an object that don't typically change. The class is immutable (in that all the instance members are blank finals) for unsynchronized access.

Need to figure out if interfaces can have blank finals.

shape_

public static final int shape_

The approximate shape of this object. Helpful for figuring out object spatial relationships, such as whether this object can be squeezed through a keyhole or under a door.

Constant Field Values

damage_

public static final int damage_

How much damage the object can take before it's physically destroyed, in terms of "object hit points". For a living thing, this is usually more than what it takes to kill it; it's how much damage the body can withstand before disintegrating.
