Constructor Detail

Bruteforce

public Bruteforce(ControlInterface ci)

Initialize the AI with settings from the Mastermind engine.

Method Detail

makeGuess

public int makeGuess()

Do a full guess on the Mastermind engine. This includes to generate a guess, pass it to the engine and do a full game turn.

Specified by:

makeGuess in interface SolvingAlgorithm

Returns:

-1 = Game ended and code was not broken.
1 = Game ended an code was broken.
0 = Just a normal turn or game already ended.

ControlInterface.turn()

generateGuess

public Row generateGuess()

Generate a guess by "incrementing" the previous guess. If no previous guess available generate "lowest" possible guess. (Every color is given a value what makes it possible to generate a "lowest" guess and to "increment" a guess.)

Specified by:

generateGuess in interface SolvingAlgorithm

Returns:

The generated guess.

findColorIndex

private int findColorIndex(Color[] ca,
                 Color c)

Search for a Color in an array and return its index.

Parameters:

ca - The array within we want to do a search.

c - The Color to be found.

Returns:

Index of the Color, "-1" if not found.
