Method Detail

display

public void display()

Print the game to the console, is useful during testing.

Specified by:

display in class Game<GridGameState>

gameOver

public boolean gameOver()

An exact clone of the current object instance.

getClone

public Game<GridGameState> getClone(GridGameState 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.

Specified by:

getClone in class Game<GridGameState>

Parameters:

newState - the new sate to use

Returns:

the copy

getGameResult

public AbstractGameResult getGameResult()

Get the result of the game (Win/Lose/Draw)

Specified by:

getGameResult in class Game<GridGameState>

Returns:

the relevant AbstractGameResult object

initializeGame

public void initializeGame()

perform any game specific initialization

Specified by:

initializeGame in class Game<GridGameState>

generateStates

public List<GameState> generateStates(int currentPlayer)

This method generates every possible from the current state for a specific player

Specified by:
