Method Detail

boardIsAcceptable

public static boolean boardIsAcceptable(Board board,
                                        RuleSet rules,
                                        boolean testing)

Parameters:

testing - How is the condition applied? In the training mode (testing==false), the board is acceptable if no game piece satisfies any condition (i.e. is accepted by any row). In the testing mode (testing==true), the board is acceptable if at least one piece does.

board - The board to test

rules - The conditions, formatted as a rule set. Each row of the rule set represents one condition.

positionIsAllowed

public static boolean positionIsAllowed(int pos,
                                        RuleSet rules,
                                        boolean testing)

This is to make board generation more efficient in the presence of a position-only rule. (For GS 7.008)

Parameters:

rules - a very simple rules set, consisting of a single fixed-position-only rule

Returns:

In training (testing==false), returns true if the rule set does not accept this position. In testing (testing==true), returns true if the rule set accepts this position.
