This companion object of class Direction provides some constants of type Direction and methods for creating new Direction instances.
The object has an alias in the top-level package o1, so it’s accessible to students simply via import o1.*.

Concrete methods
Returns the Direction that corresponds to the given arrow key. For example, the right arrow corresponds to Right.
Takes in an angle as degrees and returns the corresponding Direction. Zero degrees points rightwards; positive angles are counterclockwise from there, negative ones clockwise.
Takes in an angle as degrees and returns the corresponding Direction. Zero degrees points rightwards; positive angles are counterclockwise from there, negative ones clockwise.
Attributes
Takes in a difference between x coordinates and a difference between y coordinates and constructs a Direction from them.
Takes in a difference between x coordinates and a difference between y coordinates and constructs a Direction from them.
Parameters
- dx
-
a difference between two x coordinates; it is not necessary that this is normalized between -1.0 and +1.0 like the
dxanddyof the resulting Direction object - dy
-
a difference between two x coordinates; it is not necessary that this is normalized between -1.0 and +1.0 like the
dxanddyof the resulting Direction object
Attributes
- Returns
-
the Direction that corresponds to the given deltas. If both are exactly equal to zero, returns NoDirection.
Returns the Direction that corresponds to the given arrow key. For example, the right arrow or the D key corresponds to East.
Returns the Direction that corresponds to the given arrow key. For example, the right arrow or the D key corresponds to East.
Parameters
- key
-
any key on the keyboard
Attributes
Takes in an angle as radians and returns the corresponding Direction. Zero radians points rightwards; positive angles are counterclockwise from there, negative ones clockwise.
Takes in an angle as radians and returns the corresponding Direction. Zero radians points rightwards; positive angles are counterclockwise from there, negative ones clockwise.
Attributes
Returns the Direction that corresponds to the given WASD key. For example, the D key corresponds to East.
