I openly admit to not being fond of coding in Java. It’s just not got the elegance C# has. However, I will use Java if only to remind myself why I don’t like using it.

I recently did just this. Largely so I could see whether the event queue system I made in C++ could easily port to Java and C#. Guess what? It does. This pleases me.

Here’s a code example of how to use the event queue:

package eventtesting;

import JpmEvents.CEventMap;
import JpmEvents.IEvent;
import JpmEvents.IEventHandler;
import JpmEvents.BEvent;

/**

 */
public class Main
{
    private class TestEvent1 extends BEvent { public TestEvent1() { super("TestEvent1"); } }
    private class TestEvent2 implements IEvent
    {
        public Integer Hash() { return Name().hashCode(); }
        public String Name() { return "TestEvent2" }
        public TestEvent2() {  }
    }

    private boolean OnEvent(TestEvent1 e)
    {
        System.out.println("Event One Called!!!");
        return false;
    }
    private boolean OnEvent(TestEvent2 e)
    {
        System.out.println("Event Two Called!!!");
        return false;
    }

    protected void Run()
    {
        CEventMap emMap = new CEventMap();

        emMap.Bind(new IEventHandler<TestEvent1>(){public boolean HandleEvent(TestEvent1 event){return OnEvent(event);}}, "TestEvent1");
        emMap.Bind(new IEventHandler<TestEvent2>(){public boolean HandleEvent(TestEvent2 event){return OnEvent(event);}}, "TestEvent2");

        System.out.println("Triggering events...");
        emMap.Trigger(new TestEvent2());

        System.out.println("Queueing events...");
        emMap.Queue(new TestEvent1());
        emMap.Queue(new TestEvent2());
        emMap.Queue(new TestEvent1());

        System.out.println("Flushing events...");
        emMap.Flush();
    }

    /**
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        Main m = new Main();
        m.Run();
    }
}

“I account for morality as an accidental capability produced,
in its boundless stupidity, by a biological process that is normally
opposed to the expression of such a capability”
