Class BeastMood

java.lang.Object
  BeastMood

public class BeastMood
extends java.lang.Object

A Beast's mood, defined as two parameters: grooviness and intensity. Emotions like happiness, joy, and pride have positive grooviness. Emotions like anger, frustration, and rage have negative grooviness. Emotions like rapture and rage have higher intensities than emotions like smugness and sullenness. Emotions like "hyper" and "deadpan" may vary in intensity but have zero grooviness. In human-computer interaction (HCI), we do use a scale like this to describe emotion, but the axes are generally called "valence" and intensity rather than grooviness and intensity.

Constructor Detail

BeastMood

public BeastMood(double grooviness,
                 double intensity)

Construct a mood reflecting the given parameters.

Note: the parameters will be clipped to the allowable ranges of grooviness and intensity.

Parameters:

grooviness - the grooviness of the mood

intensity - the intensity of the mood

Method Detail

getGrooviness

public double getGrooviness()

Get the grooviness of this mood. (Positive values are groovy, man. Negative values are definitely ungroovy.)

Returns:

the grooviness, between MIN_GROOVINESS and MAX_GROOVINESS

getIntensity

public double getIntensity()

Get the intensity of this mood. (Higher values are more intense.)

Returns:

the intensity, between MIN_INTENSITY and MAX_INTENSITY

equals
