  • Constructor Details

    • Simulator

      public Simulator(World world, Canvas canvas, int delay)
      Initializes a new simulation based on an existing world, canvas, and initial delay.
      Parameters:
      world - the world to simulate.
      canvas - the canvas to use for simulation.
      delay - between executing simulations in ms (when using run).

  • Method Details

    • setFrame

      public void setFrame(Frame frame)
      Sets the containing frame to allow updating of meta world information (day/night cycle).
      Parameters:
      frame - to use.

    • getSteps

      public int getSteps()
      Provides the amount of iteration steps executed
      Returns:
      steps executed.

    • getDelay

      public int getDelay()
      Provides the current delay
      Returns:
      the delay currently employed.

    • simulate

      public void simulate()
      Simulate am iteration.

    • isRunning

      public boolean isRunning()
      Provides a status of whether run is currently being executed.
      Returns:
      true if run is currently in progress.

    • setDelay

      public void setDelay(int delay)
      Updates the delay to be used.
      Parameters:
      delay - to use in ms.
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if delay is negative.
      IllegalStateException - if modifying delay while running run.

    • stop

      public void stop()
      Stops an execution of run.
      Throws:
      IllegalStateException - if run is not currently executing.

    • run

      public void run()
      Executes simulation steps in a parallel process. Can be stopped using stop.
