Interface Optimizer<A extends HObject,B extends HObject,GroupA extends GenericGroup<A,?>,GroupB extends GenericGroup<B,?>>

All Known Implementing Classes:

SelfInteractionOptimizer

public interface Optimizer<A extends HObject,B extends HObject,GroupA extends GenericGroup<A,?>,GroupB extends GenericGroup<B,?>>

Determines which beings are compared and potentially interacted by Interactor. Unoptimized interactions check all members of A against all the members of B (order n^2). Optimizers allow for the creation of data structures which will speed interactions.

Group B is given as argument to constructor and organized according to optimizer type. Detect checks body A against the structure formed from Group B.

Sample advanced optimizers include quadtree.

Method Summary

void	detect(GroupA group1, GroupB group2, InteractionHandler<A,B> handler) This should detect all possible interactions between the members of groups A and B, using handler.

Method Detail

detect

void detect(GroupA group1,
            GroupB group2,
            InteractionHandler<A,B> handler)

This should detect all possible interactions between the members of groups A and B, using handler.

Parameters:

group1 - a group of beings

group2 - a group of beings

handler - interaction handler that will detect and handle interactions
