Instance variables

Listing 12 declares several instance variables. Comments are provided to explain most of the instance variables. No explanation beyond the comments in Listing 12 should be required.

The modified constructor

The constructor is shown in its entirety in Listing 13 .

Listing 13 . The modified constructor.

public Game1() {//constructor graphics = new GraphicsDeviceManager(this);Content.RootDirectory = "Content"; //Set the size of the game window.graphics.PreferredBackBufferWidth = windowWidth; graphics.PreferredBackBufferHeight = windowHeight;}//end constructor

Nothing in this constructor is new to this module. Therefore, no further explanation should be required.

The overridden LoadContent method

The overridden LoadContent method begins in Listing 14 .

Listing 14 . Beginning of the overridden LoadContent method.

protected override void LoadContent() { spriteBatch = new SpriteBatch(GraphicsDevice);for(int cnt = 0;cnt<numRocks;cnt++){ rocks.Add(new Sprite("Rock",Content,random));//Set the position of the current rock at a // random location within the game window.rocks[cnt].Position = new Vector2((float)(windowWidth * random.NextDouble()), (float)(windowHeight * random.NextDouble()));//Get a direction vector for the current rock. // Make both components positive to cause the// vector to point down and to the right. rocks[cnt].Direction = DirectionVector( (float)maxVectorLength,(float)(maxVectorLength * random.NextDouble()), false,//xNegfalse);//yNeg //Notify the Sprite object of the size of the// game window. rocks[cnt].WindowSize = new Point(windowWidth,windowHeight);//Set the speed in moves per second for the // current sprite to a random value between// maxRockSpeed/2 and maxRockSpeed. rocks[cnt].Speed = maxRockSpeed/2 + maxRockSpeed * random.NextDouble()/2;}//end for loop

Instantiate all of the space rock sprites

The code in Listing 14 uses a for loop to instantiate all of the space rocks and to prepare them to move from left to right, top to bottomacross the game window.

Call the Sprite constructor

The for loop begins with a call to the Sprite constructor to construct a newobject of the Sprite class.

As mentioned earlier, you should pass a reference to the same Random object each time you make a call to the Sprite constructor.

Each new Sprite object's reference is added to the list referred to by the instance variable named rocks .

Set the property values

Once the new Sprite object is constructed, the object's reference is accessed and used to set the following property values:

  • The Position property of each rock is set to a random position within the game window.
  • The Direction property for each rock is set to a value obtained by calling the private DirectionVector method. (I will explain the DirectionVector method later.)
  • The WindowSize property for each rock is set to the common windowWidth and windowHeight values.
  • The Speed property for each rock is set to a bounded random value.

In economics, a perfect market refers to a theoretical construct where all participants have perfect information, goods are homogenous, there are no barriers to entry or exit, and prices are determined solely by supply and demand. It's an idealized model used for analysis,

What is different between quantity demand and demand?
Shukri Reply
Quantity demanded refers to the specific amount of a good or service that consumers are willing and able to purchase at a give price and within a specific time period. Demand, on the other hand, is a broader concept that encompasses the entire relationship between price and quantity demanded

Economic growth as an increase in the production and consumption of goods and services within an economy.but Economic development as a broader concept that encompasses not only economic growth but also social & human well being.

sir...I just want to ask one question... Define the term contract curve? if you are free please help me to find this answer 🙏

it is a curve that we get after connecting the pareto optimal combinations of two consumers after their mutually beneficial trade offs

In economics, the contract curve refers to the set of points in an Edgeworth box diagram where both parties involved in a trade cannot be made better off without making one of them worse off. It represents the Pareto efficient allocations of goods between two individuals or entities, where neither p
