Constructor Detail

TronSoln

public TronSoln()

Method Detail

getPlayerName

public java.lang.String getPlayerName()

Specifies the name of the player playing this game. This is the name that will be identified publicly on the web, so this should be unique, friendly and anonymous (or not), as you choose.

Specified by:

getPlayerName in interface game.Game

Returns:

the string specifying the player's name.

setPlayerNum

public void setPlayerNum(int playerNum)

Lets the game know which player number they are (always either 0 or 1). Called once before game play starts. It is your job to remember your player number so that later on when the move() method is called, you will know how to fill in the board. See the documentation for TronState to see the meaning of the variables stored in the state board.

Specified by:

setPlayerNum in interface game.Game

Parameters:

playerNum - The player number (0 or 1).

TronState

move

public void move(game.GameState state)

Generates the next move for the game by modifying the game state. Gets called many times by the gaming engine, once every time it is the player's turn. You must play for the player number specified by the setPlayerNum() method. NOTE: The parameter is of type GameState, but in practice, it will always be an instance of a class that implements the TronStateInterface interface, so you can access the board from the state with these two lines of code:

                TronStateInterface tronState = (TronStateInterface)state;
                int[][] board = tronState.getBoard();
                

Specified by:

move in interface game.Game

Parameters:

state - The current game state before this move is played.
