Class AbstractComputerAgent

java.lang.Object
  org.vizzini.game.AbstractAgent
      org.vizzini.game.AbstractComputerAgent

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, IAgent, IComputerAgent

Direct Known Subclasses:

AbstractChessComputerAgent, AbstractSimpleAgent, ComputerAgent, EvaluatedPlacementAgent, SearchAgent, SimpleComputerAgent

public abstract class AbstractComputerAgent
extends AbstractAgent
implements IComputerAgent

Provides base functionality for computer agents in the game framework. A computer agent instance encapsulates the logic a computer agent uses to create actions. Examples of this logic are simple coding, a minimax algorithm, or neural network based.
