Constructor Summary

Board()

Method Summary

Board	clone()
abstract void	dump() Outputs a string representation of the board contents.
abstract void	dumpAndCompare(Board other) Outputs a string representation of the board contents, interlaced with the supplied comparison board.
abstract boolean	equals(Board other) Returns whether this board is equal to the given comparison board.
Random	getRandom() Returns the random number generator used by the board to generate random numbers for our puzzles.
void	initializeSeed(long seed) Sets the seed in the board's random number generator and calls populate().
void	seedFromEvent(int pidx, int gevent) Allows puzzles to add extra noise to their random number generators based on the specific events sent from the client to make it more difficult for a hacked client to predict things such as piece generation.

Method Detail

dump

public abstract void dump()

Outputs a string representation of the board contents.

public abstract void dumpAndCompare(Board other)

Outputs a string representation of the board contents, interlaced with the supplied comparison board.

equals

public abstract boolean equals(Board other)

Returns whether this board is equal to the given comparison board.

clone

public Board clone()

Overrides:

clone in class Object

initializeSeed

public void initializeSeed(long seed)

Sets the seed in the board's random number generator and calls populate().

getRandom

public Random getRandom()

Returns the random number generator used by the board to generate random numbers for our puzzles.

seedFromEvent

public void seedFromEvent(int pidx,
                          int gevent)

Allows puzzles to add extra noise to their random number generators based on the specific events sent from the client to make it more difficult for a hacked client to predict things such as piece generation.

Parameters:

pidx - the player index that submitted the progress event.

gevent - the progress event itself.
