ClientMove::_value #9

Closed searing closed 13 years ago

Are we sure we want to store the value here? It seems like you'd want to sort ClientMove objects by their value, in which case you'd store the value separately, and use something like a SortedMap (TreeMap) to map values to moves.

Steve had created a Move class within the EndGame package, and I merely merged the ClientMove and Move classes so that his code wouldn't break. I'd ask him about the _value attribute.

Sorry I couldn't help more, -Tom

I use the value in the alpha beta search. The search is constantly comparing one move against one other move, so it didn't really make sense to have a sorted map, there is no need for sorting and it would be wasteful to store and pull back moves in this case. For something like the AI portion of it where you are checking a bunch of values the map may make sense, but in my case I saw the value as an attribute of the move, so I thought it made sense to store it there.
