public class ClientLookArcade
extends ClientLook
ClientLookArcade is a client look that uses a variety of images loaded from the client URL to simulate the contours of the landscape with shadows and hilites, assuming the light source is hitting the land from the upper left hand side of the game board. Hills look like they rise out of the landscape and valleys actually look like they sink into the landscape. ClientLookArcade implements ClientLook's abstract methods update() and updateTerrain() and adds several supporting methods.
