CSE115.Pacman
Class BoardPositions

java.lang.Object
  CSE115.Pacman.BoardPositions

public final class BoardPositions
extends Object

This "library" class will facilitate the implementation of PacMan by taking care of the tedious determination of idiosyncratic board locations. One might even say it takes the "Bored" out of "Board." But that person would be a damn fool.

This class assumes a 24x19 layout.

The Board is split into several sections, which help articulate the otherwise quirky and indescribable nature of the standard PacMan gameboard:

• WALLS: Basically, any impenetrable cell. The blue stuff.
• GHOST_CAGE: Includes the inside and door of the ghost cage.
• POWER_PILS: Locations of the four power pills.
• PASSAGEWAY: This is the horizontal passageway through which PacMan can wrap around.
• INNER_SQUARE: The inner section of the board, minus the ghost cage. This plus the ghost cage truly is the inner square (well, minus the walls). It will help rule out places that a dot CANNOT go.
• OUTSIDE: These are the bizarre little courtyards that no object can go in. They're tangential to the passageway.
