Player variables into player object

So, I had collected a lovely bunch of variables to track the position of the craft, looking something like this: (gotta love having your dev history in an SVN repo)

        private Vector3 p1rot;
        private Vector3 p1rotInput;
        private float p1rotForce;
        public Vector3 Player1Rotation
        {
            get { return p1rot; }
            set { p1rot = value; }
        }
        private Vector2 p1;
        public Vector2 Player1Location
        {
            get { return p1; }
            set { p1 = value; }
        }
        private Vector2 p1force;
        private Vector2 p1spring;
        private Vector2 p1grav;

And the time had come to move it out into an object. Which ended up looking like this:

class Player
{
 private Vector2 _position;
 private Vector2 _force;
 private Vector3 _rotation;
 private Vector3 _rotationInput;
 private float _thrust;
 private float _rotationForce;

 public Vector2 Position
 {
  get { return _position; }
  set { _position = value; }
 }

.. blah blah properties. Thankfully we can use CTRL-R,E in Visual Studio to make a private variable into a public property; no mess, no fuss. There was also dome debate as to where to put the public properties w.r.t. their privates, I went with Turner and used the C++ style approach.

And I even gave the object its very own method to update it's internals. Lucky thing.

 public void HandleInput(float dt)
 { ..blah.. }
}

This also meant that I can now make my property grid show only properties of Player p1.



Which is a lot more useful.

Also evident is the pretty point field I forgot to blog about; this is just a bunch of for loops adding the gravity vector at a point in the grid to the vector to that point.. the result is a point distorted by gravity.
