boolean	isAutoMode() Get if auto mode or not
boolean	launchAutoMode() Launches the modules that the auto mode requires: vision system and robix interface.
void	launchOpponents() Launches every LA in the array and starts an output reader thread for each process to show the output of each LA
static void	main(java.lang.String[] args) Calls the major functions of the program
void	readOpponents() Reads in the opponents file and creates an array of LA objects and output readers
boolean	setup() Sets up the engine

Constructor Detail

TTTengine

public TTTengine()

Creates a ccpClientPrimitive object and initializes booleans to false at the start

Method Detail

main

public static void main(java.lang.String[] args)

Calls the major functions of the program

Parameters:

args - - args[0] is "-interactive" for interactive mode or "-auto" for automatic mode

setup

public boolean setup()

Sets up the engine

Returns:

- Returns true if successful, false if not

readOpponents

public void readOpponents()

Reads in the opponents file and creates an array of LA objects and output readers

launchOpponents

public void launchOpponents()

Launches every LA in the array and starts an output reader thread for each process to show the output of each LA

waitForOpponent

private void waitForOpponent()

Waits for at least one opponent to become alert. Keeps looping through the array until one is marked as alert.

launchAutoMode

public boolean launchAutoMode()

Launches the modules that the auto mode requires: vision system and robix interface. Loops and waits until both are online. Can select retry if not enough time or can just exit.

Returns:

- TRUE if both launched fine, FALSE if a problem

exitOpponents

public void exitOpponents()

Loops through the array of opponents and exits the process for each one

exitAutoMode

public void exitAutoMode()

Closes the auto mode modules AND closes the opponents, then exits the program.

determineAutoMode

public boolean determineAutoMode(java.lang.String mode)

Determine which mode was selected

Parameters:

mode - - the mode selected in string form

Returns:

- the mode

getLAIndex

public int getLAIndex(java.lang.String name,
                      java.lang.String type)

Get the index of the LA in the array from its name

Parameters:

name - - name of the LA(ID for auto, Display for interactive)

type - - the type of name: "ID" or "NAME"

Returns:

- the index of the LA in the array

getLAName

public java.lang.String getLAName(int index)

Get the LA's name from the index

Parameters:

index - - the index in the array of LA's

Returns:

- the name of the LA at that index

getOpponents

public LearningAlgorithm[] getOpponents()

Get the array of LA's

Returns:

- the array of LA's

getClient

public javaClient.ccpClientPrimitive getClient()

Get the CCP client

Returns:

- the CCP client

getGUI

public TTTgui getGUI()

Get the TTT GUI

Returns:

- the TTT GUI

getPanel

public TTTpanel getPanel()

Get the TTT panel

Returns:

- the TTT panel

isAutoMode

public boolean isAutoMode()

Get if auto mode or not

Returns:
