name.moore.kevin.ze.XMLdata.specs.speciesSpec

public class speciesSpec
extends XMLbase

The essential unchanging physiology of a species.

At this juncture there are no significant attributes. TODO but at some stage may want to have their required atomosphere.

These properties are fixed and thus have no setter methods since there is no in-game reason to change them or create them. Objects are initialised by loading XML via XStream.

Description copied from class: XMLbase

Called automatically when loading from XML as part of JDK serialisation.

Overrides:

Returns:

null if we can't create a valid object

Specified by:

Returns:
