Interface Behavior2
- All Superinterfaces:
- Behavior
public interface Behavior2
- extends Behavior
This interface works with Aribtrator2.
The Behavior2 interface represents an object embodying a specific
behavior belonging to a robot. Each behavior must define three things:
1) The circumstances to make this behavior seize control of the robot.
e.g. When the touch sensor determines the robot has collided with an object.
When this happens, the Behavior must inform the Arbitrator that is ready to take control.
It does this by calling arbitrator.wantControl(this) and also by returning true when the
arbitrator calls takeControl();
2) The action to exhibit when this behavior takes control.
e.g. Back up and turn. The action() method does this.
3) The actions to perform when another behavior has seized control from this
behavior.
e.g. Stop the current movement and update coordinates. The method suprews() does this.
4)establish a call back path the arbitrator by implementing the setArbitrator() method.
A behavior control system has one or more Behavior objects. When you have defined
these objects, create an array of them and use that array to initialize an
Arbitrator object.
