NAME

Games::LMSolve - base class for LM-Solve solvers factories

VERSION

version 0.14.2

SYNOPSIS

package MyReg;

use Games::LMSolve;

@ISA = qw(Games::LMSolve);

use MyPuzzle::Solver;

sub register_all_solvers
{
    my $self = shift;

    $self->register_solvers({ 'mypuzzle' => "MyPuzzle::Solver"});

    $self->set_default_variant("mypuzzle");

    return 0;
}

package main;

my $r = MyReg->new();
$r->main();

DESCRIPTION

This class is a registry of Games::LMSolve::Base-derived solvers. It maps variants IDs to the classes. To use it, sub-class it and over-ride the register_all_solvers() function. In it use register_solvers while passing a reference to a hash that contains the variant IDs as keys and the class names, or constructor functions as values.

You can also use set_default_variant() to set the default variant.

After all that, in your main script initialize a registry object, and call the main() method.

METHODS

new

The constructor. Accepts the following named arguments:

  • 'default_variant'

    The default variant for the registry to be used in case one is not specified.

$registry->set_default_variant($variant)

Sets the default variant to $variant.

$self->register_solvers(\%solvers)

Adds the %solvers map of names to class names to the registry.

$self->register_all_solvers()

To be sub-classes to register all the solvers that the registry wants to register. Does nothing here.

$self->main()

the main function that handles the command line arguments and runs the program.
