Method Detail

selectState

public abstract GameState selectState(Game<GameState> game,
                                      int playerID)

Select a GameState from the given game objects list of possible states for the specified player.

Parameters:

game - the game at the state when the decision should be made

playerID - the ID of the player that needs to make a decision

Returns:

The selected GameState

getClone

public abstract StateTraversalStrategy getClone()

Create a cloned copy of the current object and return it. In general the created copy will be a deep copy of the provided instance. As a result this operation an be quite expensive if used incorrectly.

Specified by:

getClone in interface Cloneable

Returns:

An exact clone of the current object instance.
