Purpose

Let's have a little bit fun and break the wall with this Oracle Forms JavaBean.

The purpose of this research&development unit is only to show that the VBean class allows to do anything in an Oracle Forms application.
You are able to build a complete interface with different frames, panels, menus and actions like reading/writing files.

WallBrick Player

WallBrick Builder

This wallbrick is as simple as I am not a game expert and is probably the worst example of this kind of game you could find anywhere.
But this one allows you to create/modify your own levels.
So, the JAR file contains 2 main classes, one for building the wall (FJBuild.java) and one to play (FJBrick.java).


The java code

      get here the complete Java source code


The Implementation class properties

for the builder:
      oracle.forms.fd.FJBuild

for the player:
      oracle.forms.fd.FJBrick


The properties you can set

Set the log ON/OFF

Set_Custom_Property('BL.BEAN', 1, 'SETLOG', 'true|false' ) ;

Start a new game/builder

Set_Custom_Property('BL.BEAN', 1, 'START', '[configuration file's directory]' ) ;

configuration file's directory is not required. It can be used to indicate in which directory the configuration file will be created/stored.
If no indication, the configuration file is read/stored in the default user directory.

If you want to store the configuration file in the C:TEMP directory, use the following:

Set_Custom_Property('BL.BEAN', 1, 'START', 'C:TEMP' ) ;
