Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
abstract boolean	canBeUsedDuringPlay() Deprecated. Should this algorithm be usable from the play screen?
void	continueInThread(java.util.Observer observer) Deprecated. There is really no difference between this and runInThread except semantics.
PuzzleInstance	getCopyOfUpdatedPuzzle() Deprecated.
abstract java.lang.String	getDescriptiveWordForScore() Deprecated.
abstract java.lang.String	getName() Deprecated. The name of the algorithm i.e.
long	getNumberIterations() Deprecated.
int	getPuzzleID() Deprecated.
abstract java.lang.String	getResult() Deprecated. Return the result of the algorithm in the context of the problem.
Solution	getSolution() Deprecated.
AlgorithmStates	getState() Deprecated.
abstract java.lang.String	getStatus() Deprecated. HTML text that will be displayed in the Algorithm Runner that explains what the algorithm is doing.
long	getTimeTaken() Deprecated. Provide time taken to AlgorithmProcessDialog
abstract void	initializeData() Deprecated. Set up anything that your algorithm needs in order to begin running.
boolean	isAutoSave() Deprecated.
boolean	isDone() Deprecated.
boolean	isNotDone() Deprecated.
boolean	isQuit() Deprecated.
boolean	isReadyToBeSaved() Deprecated.
abstract OldGenericAlgorithm<T>	newInstance() Deprecated. This should just do: return new Blah(); where Blah is the class that subclasses this.
void	requestQuit() Deprecated.
void	run() Deprecated.
void	runAlgorithm() Deprecated. Runs the Algorithm, continuing from where it left off.
void	runInThread(java.util.Observer observer) Deprecated.

Constructor Detail

OldGenericAlgorithm

public OldGenericAlgorithm()

Deprecated.

Method Detail

getName

public abstract java.lang.String getName()

Deprecated.

The name of the algorithm i.e. "Islands" or "MergePebble"

Returns:

the name

initializeData

public abstract void initializeData()

Deprecated.

Set up anything that your algorithm needs in order to begin running.

getStatus

public abstract java.lang.String getStatus()

Deprecated.

HTML text that will be displayed in the Algorithm Runner that explains what the algorithm is doing. Think of the status as a progress report.

Returns:

getDescriptiveWordForScore

public abstract java.lang.String getDescriptiveWordForScore()

Deprecated.

getResult

public abstract java.lang.String getResult()

Deprecated.

Return the result of the algorithm in the context of the problem. i.e. Solvable, Unsolvable, Unknown. This tells more than "Done" or "Not_Done" that is given in the more general sense

Returns:

the result

canBeUsedDuringPlay

public abstract boolean canBeUsedDuringPlay()

Deprecated.

Should this algorithm be usable from the play screen?

Returns:

newInstance

public abstract OldGenericAlgorithm<T> newInstance()

Deprecated.

This should just do: return new Blah(); where Blah is the class that subclasses this.

Returns:

setPuzzle

public void setPuzzle(T puzzle)

Deprecated.

Initializes the data and gets the algorithm ready to start.

Parameters:

puzzle -

getPuzzleID

public int getPuzzleID()

Deprecated.

runAlgorithm

public void runAlgorithm()

Deprecated.

Runs the Algorithm, continuing from where it left off.

getCopyOfUpdatedPuzzle

public PuzzleInstance getCopyOfUpdatedPuzzle()

Deprecated.

Deprecated.

isNotDone

public boolean isNotDone()

Deprecated.

requestQuit

public void requestQuit()

Deprecated.

getNumberIterations

public long getNumberIterations()

Deprecated.

getSolution

public Solution getSolution()

Deprecated.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Deprecated.

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

isReadyToBeSaved

public boolean isReadyToBeSaved()

Deprecated.

isAutoSave

public boolean isAutoSave()

Deprecated.

setAutoSave

Deprecated.

continueInThread

public void continueInThread(java.util.Observer observer)

Deprecated.

There is really no difference between this and runInThread except semantics.

Parameters:

observer -

public void runInThread(java.util.Observer observer)

Deprecated.

run

public void run()

Deprecated.

Specified by:

run in interface java.lang.Runnable
