Constructor Detail

BlockLattice2D

public BlockLattice2D(java.lang.Class state,
                      de.tubs.cs.sc.casim.LatticeDefinition definition)
               throws CAException

Constructor creates a two dimensional array of State, initializes lattice and block sizes

Method Detail

reset

protected void reset()
              throws CAException

recreates the whole CA by creating new States initializes the lattice

Overrides:

reset in class BlockLattice

CAException

getDimension

public int getDimension()

Specified by:

getDimension in class Lattice

Returns:

the dimension of the lattice

getState

public de.tubs.cs.sc.casim.State getState(int x)

will always throw a RuntimeException if the method will be used.

Specified by:

getState in class Lattice

Returns:

the current state at position x

getState

public de.tubs.cs.sc.casim.State getState(int x,
                                          int y)

returns the current state at the given coordinates. getState should be used in State's override initialize to init all states of the CA. The returned reference must be casted to a class derived from abstract class State.

Specified by:

getState in class Lattice

Returns:

the current state at position x,y

getState

public de.tubs.cs.sc.casim.State getState(int x,
                                          int y,
                                          int z)

returns the current state at the given coordinates. It will throw a RuntimeException if the method will be used with a z parameter not equal 0. getState should be used in State's override initialize to init all states of the CA. The returned reference must be casted to a class derived from abstract class State.

Specified by:

getState in class Lattice

Returns:

the current state at position x,y,z

getOldState

public de.tubs.cs.sc.casim.State getOldState(int x,
                                             int y,
                                             int z)

returns the state at the given coordinates using boundary handlers. y and z are ignored for one dimensional lattices, z is ignored for two dimensional lattices.

Specified by:

getOldState in class Lattice

Returns:

the old state at position x,y,z

BoundaryHandler.getOutsideState(int)

transition

protected final void transition()

calculates all block patterns and calls transition with the array of BlockStates

Overrides:

transition in class BlockLattice

See Also:

BlockState.transition(de.tubs.cs.sc.casim.BlockState[])

reversetransition

protected final void reversetransition()

calculates all block patterns and calls reversetransition with the array of BlockStates

Overrides:

reversetransition in class BlockLattice
