Detailed Description

A human thinker for testing the console app.

Member Function Documentation

Setup()

override void Setup ( string  str )

inlinevirtual

Setup thinker.

Parameters

str	String containing setup parameters, should be parsed by the concrete AI thinker.

By default, this method does nothing and its implementation by the concrete thinkers is entirely optional.

See also

ColorShapeLinks.Common.AI.AbstractThinker.Setup

Reimplemented from AbstractThinker.

Think()

override FutureMove Think ( Board  board, CancellationToken  ct  )

inlinevirtual

Perform a move.

Parameters

board	The game board.
ct	A cancellation token.

Returns

The move to be performed.

The main thread may ask the thinker to stop thinking. As such, this method should frequently test if a cancellation request was made to the cancellation token (ct ). If so, it should return immediately with no move performed, as exemplified in the following code:

if (ct.IsCancellationRequested) return FutureMove.NoMove;

This method asks the human to play.
