Detailed Description

Since several different algorithms can carve mazes with different characteristics, architect implements a polymorphic class, thus divorcing the carving algorithm from the data it generates. The abstract architect class is tightly bound to the maze data structures, and I defined it within the scope of maze, as a friend; it implements protected static methods that access the internal data of a maze.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void libcoyotl::maze::architect::create_floor_plan ( maze &  a_target )

pure virtual

This method "draws" in the given maze object, creating the floor plan.

Parameters

a_target

- The maze that will be "architected".

Implemented in libcoyotl::recursive_maze_architect.

static cell** libcoyotl::maze::architect::get_cells ( maze &  a_target )

inlinestaticprotected

Retrieves the two-dimensional maze containing the cells for a maze. This function provides direct read-write access to the cell data.

Parameters

a_target

- The target maze

Returns

A two-dimensional pointer to the cell grid
