Method Detail

• doAction

  double doAction​(double currentScore,
                  double desparationValue)

  Perform an action

  Parameters:

  currentscore - The current score before doing the action

  desparationValue - An indication by the processing machines of willingness to do more extreme actions. A value of 0 means not desparate at all, a value of 1 means very desparate

  Returns:

  the current score after doing the action (or the input score if not successful)

• isActionDeterministic

  boolean isActionDeterministic​()

  Was the last action deterministic? That is, if it wasn't chosen and state is still as before is it worth doing it again?

  Returns:

  true if last action deterministic

• isActionSuccessful

  boolean isActionSuccessful​()

  Was the last call to doAction() succesful?

  Returns:

  true if last action successful, false otherwise

• undoAction

  boolean undoAction​()

  Undo the last action (if it was successful) Users of undoable actions should accept that sometimes it isn't possible. If an undo was not possible the action should not change any state

  Returns:

  true if undo was successful
