createPuzzleInstance

public static PuzzleInstance createPuzzleInstance(Puzzle dbPuzzle)

Creates an instance based on the first character of the data encoding of the puzzle. If the data is null, there is no way to create a puzzle because we don't know which kind to create. Used a lot.

Parameters:

dbPuzzle -

Returns:

createPuzzleInstance

public static PuzzleInstance createPuzzleInstance(Replay replay)

ds -

replay -
