Class GoalGenerationAlgorithm

java.lang.Object

com.TeamHEC.LocomotionCommotion.Goal.Graph.GoalGenerationAlgorithm

public class GoalGenerationAlgorithm
extends java.lang.Object

Author:

Stefan Kokov GoalGenerationAlgorithm class is used to generate new goals. It creates a graph of the stations in the game, traverses it and finds a goal. GoalGenerationAlgoritm should not be used to generate new goals directly. GoalFactory should be used to generate goals instead. Goal factory uses GoalGenerationAlgorithm. The pathLength parameter in the constructor should be set using one of the constant difficulty fields in GoalFactory. Only the generateGoalPath method should be accessed externally.

Constructor Detail

GoalGenerationAlgorithm

public GoalGenerationAlgorithm(int pathLength)

Parameters:

pathLength - - The length of the path this algorithm will produce using generateGoalPath method.

Method Detail

generateGoalPath

public java.util.ArrayList<Station> generateGoalPath()

Uses getGoalPathNodeList to generate a list of Nodes, then converts it into a list of stations using a lookup table and returns it. Will aim to produce a path with no repeating nodes, however it may fail.

Returns:

list of stations
