Usage

Clone this project and add the source code to a package in your Java bot project:

git clone /~https://github.com/Jabbo16/SSCAIT-ObserverModule-BWMirror.git

Import and create the CameraModule object:

import cameraModule.CameraModule;
private CameraModule observer;

Call the following methods in your main class at the onStart() method:

//self and game are the Player and Game objects extracted from the Mirror object
observer = new CameraModule(self.getStartLocation().toPosition(), game);
observer.toggle(); //Used to enable the observer, by default is disabled

Call the following method in your main class at the onFrame() method:

//Runs the code determining what the observer should be focusing on and handles camera movement
observer.onFrame();

This method should be called when a unit is completed:

//Is used to inform the observer about unit-creation events
observer.moveCameraUnitCreated(unit);
