Grid Actions

## Grid Actions

There are 2 kinds of grids:

> - Grid3D : A 3D grid with x,y and z coordinates

> - TiledGrid3D : A 3D grid with x,y and z coordinates, composed

>     with independent tiles

Hence, there are 2 kinds of grid actions:

> - Grid3DAction
> - TiledGrid3DAction

The Grid3DAction can modify any of vertex of the grid in any direction (x,y or z). The TiledGrid3DAction can modify any tile of the grid without modifying the adjacent tiles.

To understand visually the difference between these 2 kinds of grids, try these examples:

> - run `test/test_shakytiles3d.py` to see a TiledGrid3DAction example
> - run `test/test_shaky3d.py` to see the Grid3DAction counterpart

class `TiledGrid3DAction`(*args, **kwargs)

  Bases: `cocos.actions.basegrid_actions.GridBaseAction`

  Action that does transformations to a grid composed of tiles ( TiledGrid3D ). You can transform each tile individually

  `get_grid`()
  `get_original_tile`(x, y)

    Get the 4-original tile coordinates.

    Coordinates positions:

        3 <-- 2
              ^
              |
        0 --> 1

    Parameters: | x : int x coordinate of the tile y : int y coordinate of the tile
    Return type: | [ float, float, float, float, float, float, float, float, float, float, float, float ]
    Returns: | The 4 coordinates with the following order: x0, y0, z0, x1, y1, z1,...,x3, y3, z3

  `get_tile`(x, y)

    Get the current tile coordinates.

    Coordinates positions:

        3 <-- 2
              ^
              |
        0 --> 1

    Parameters: | x : int x coordinate of the tile y : int y coordinate of the tile
    Return type: | [ float, float, float, float, float, float, float, float, float, float, float, float ]
    Returns: | The 4 coordinates with the following order: x0, y0, z0, x1, y1, z1,...,x3, y3, z3

  `set_tile`(x, y, coords)

    Set the 4 tile coordinates

    Coordinates positions:

        3 <-- 2
              ^
              |
        0 --> 1

    Parameters: | x : int x coodinate of the tile y : int y coordinate of the tile coords : [ float, float, float, float, float, float, float, float, float, float, float, float ] The 4 coordinates in the format (x0, y0, z0, x1, y1, z1,..., x3, y3, z3)

class `AccelAmplitude`(*args, **kwargs)

  Bases: `cocos.actions.base_actions.IntervalAction`

  Increases the waves amplitude from 0 to self.amplitude

  Example:

      # when t=0 the amplitude will be 0
      # when t=1 the amplitude will be 40
      action = AccelAmplitude( Wave3D( waves=4, amplitude=40, duration=6), rate=1.0 )
      scene.do( action )

  `init`(other, rate=1)

    Init method.

    Parameters: | other : IntervalAction The action that will be affected rate : float The acceleration rate. 1 is linear (default value)

  `start`()
  `update`(t)

class `DeccelAmplitude`(*args, **kwargs)

  Bases: `cocos.actions.basegrid_actions.AccelAmplitude`

  Decreases the waves amplitude from self.amplitude to 0

  Example:

      # when t=1 the amplitude will be 0
      # when t=0 the amplitude will be 40
      action = DeccelAmplitude( Wave3D( waves=4, amplitude=40, duration=6), rate=1.0 )
      scene.do( action )

  `update`(t)

class `AccelDeccelAmplitude`(*args, **kwargs)

  Bases: `cocos.actions.base_actions.IntervalAction`

  Increases and Decreases the amplitude of Wave

  Example:

      # when t=0 and t=1 the amplitude will be 0
      # when t=0.5 (half time), the amplitude will be 40
      action = AccellDeccelAmplitude( Wave3D( waves=4, amplitude=40, duration=6) )
      scene.do( action )

  `init`(other, rate=1.0)

    Init method.

    Parameters: | other : IntervalAction The action that will be affected rate : float The acceleration rate. 1 is linear (default value)

  `start`()
  `update`(t)

class `StopGrid`(*args, **kwargs)

  Bases: `cocos.actions.base_actions.InstantAction`

  StopGrid disables the current grid. Every grid action, after finishing, leaves the screen with a certain grid figure. This figure will be displayed until StopGrid or another Grid action is executed.

  Example:

      scene.do( Waves3D( duration=2) + StopGrid() )

  `start`()

class `ReuseGrid`(*args, **kwargs)

  Bases: `cocos.actions.base_actions.InstantAction`

  Will reuse the current grid for the next grid action. The next grid action must have these properties:

  > - Be of the same class as the current one ( Grid3D or TiledGrid3D )
  > - Have the same size

  If these condition are met, then the next grid action will receive as the `original vertex` or `original tiles` the current ones.

  Example:

      scene.do( Waves3D( duration=2) + ReuseGrid() + Lens3D(duration=2) )

  `init`(reuse_times=1)

    Parameters: | reuse_times : int Number of times that the current grid will be reused by Grid actions. Default: 1

  `start`()
