Java 2D-Tile based game - Creating tile objects from an id

Question

I have been making a tile (block) based 2D side-view game.

So far I have the basic rendering and world generation going. Each tile (block) has its own class for different actions or properties that block has. But I need a way to create these objects using a number.

So every tile (block) has its own id, and so I can use that id to create new objects. And for a inventory system.

Answer 1

The way I do is hardcoding every Tile with it's number.

public Tile getTile(int id, int x_pos, int y_pos)
{
    switch (id)
    {
        case 0:  return new GroundTile(x_pos, y_pos); break;
        case 1:  return new SpringTile(x_pos, y_pos); break;
        ...
    }
    return Tile.getEmptyTile(x_pos, y_pos);
}

I doubt that you are creating tile based level for the game. If so you can use Tiled Map Editor
