Detailed Description

Represents the processor that translates the move list into a list of MoveCommand objects then either displays them or executes them.

This classes uses a parser to convert the single letter characters in a string into a list of actions (instances of the MoveCommand class). This list of actions is then executed to perform the operations.

This process of executing the list of operations is an example of the Command Pattern. This is also an example of the Interpreter Pattern, where the actions are the tokens to be interpreted.

_ExecuteMoves()

void _ExecuteMoves ( List< MoveCommand >  commands )

inlineprivate

Helper method to execute all the given commands.

Parameters

commands

A list of MoveCommand objects to "execute".

In this implementation, the MoveCommand object prints the command as "<move xxx> " on the current line. When all commands have been printed, a new line is printed to move to the next line. The "Do Nothing" command doesn't print anything, leaving only the empty <>.

_ParseMoves()

List< MoveCommand > _ParseMoves ( string  moveList )

inlineprivate

Helper method to convert a list of single letter commands into a list of MoveCommand objects.

This method recognizes 'L', 'R', 'U', and 'D' (case-insensitive). All other characters default to the "Do Nothing" (Null Object) command.

Parameters

moveList

A string containing a list of single letter commands to be parsed.

Returns

Returns a list of MoveCommand objects.

_ShowMoves()

void _ShowMoves ( List< MoveCommand >  commands )

inlineprivate

Display the command character and name of the command for each command in the given list of commands.

Parameters

commands

The list of MoveCommand objects to display.

ExecuteMoveList()

void ExecuteMoveList ( string  moveList )

inline

Parse and execute the given list of move commands, where each command is represents by a single character.

Recognizes 'U', 'D', 'L', and 'R' (case-insensitive). All other characters are assigned a "Do Nothing" (Null Object) command.
