Method Detail

recordRoundStartState

public void recordRoundStartState()

Record the state of the game at the start of the round

Specified by:

recordRoundStartState in interface RealTimeGame

getDecisionState

public ListGameState getDecisionState()

Returns the state of the game that the agent needs to make a decision. This implies that the state the agent receives isn't necceseraly the entire game state as it is at that point in time. This method can be overwritten to introduce noise or imperfect player information.

Overrides:

getDecisionState in class Game<ListGameState>

Returns:

default returns the current game state, override to return other state

getClone

public RealTimePredatorPreyGame 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

Overrides:

getClone in class PredatorPreyGame

Returns:

An exact clone of the current object instance.

See Also:

Object.clone()

getClone

public RealTimePredatorPreyGame getClone(ListGameState newState)

Get a clone with the given GameState This method should typically be used by the StateTraversalStrategy and Agent with regards to decision making when playing the game. Since this process includes making alot of copies of the game a seperate, faster, method is neccesary that does not waste time by making unneccesary copies of the game state and player logic.

Overrides:

getClone in class PredatorPreyGame

Parameters:

newState - the new sate to use

Returns:

the copy
