AddGoal(Int32, Int32, Int32)

Add a Goal at the specified location with the specified weight

Declaration
void AddGoal(int x, int y, int weight)
Parameters

System.Int32 x

X location of the Goal starting with 0 as the farthest left

System.Int32 y

Y location of the Goal starting with 0 as the top

System.Int32 weight

The priority of this goal with respect to other goals with lower numbers being a higher priority

AddObstacle(Int32, Int32)

Add an Obstacle at the specified location. Any paths found must not go through Obstacles

Declaration
void AddObstacle(int x, int y)
Parameters
Type Name Description

X location of the Obstacle starting with 0 as the farthest left

System.Int32 y

Y location of the Obstacle starting with 0 as the top

AddObstacles(IEnumerable<Point>)

Add multiple obstacles from the specified enumeration of locations

Declaration
void AddObstacles(IEnumerable<Point> obstacles)
Parameters
Type Name Description
System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<Point> obstacles

An enumeration of points representing X, Y locations of Obstacles to avoid when path-finding

FindPath(Int32, Int32)

Returns a shortest Path representing an ordered List of Points from the specified location to the Goal determined to have the highest priority Distance to the goals and the weight of the goals are both used in determining the priority The path must not pass through any obstacles specified in this GoalMap instance

Declaration
Path FindPath(int x, int y)
Parameters
Type Name Description
System.Int32 x

X location of the beginning of the path, starting with 0 as the farthest left

System.Int32 y

Y location of the beginning of the path, starting with 0 as the top

Returns
Type Description
Path

An ordered List of Points representing a shortest path from the specified location to the Goal determined to have the highest priority

FindPathAvoidingGoals(Int32, Int32)

Returns a Path representing an ordered list of Points from the specified location away from Goals specified in this GoalMap instance Distance to the goals and the weight of the goals are both used in determining the priority of avoiding the Goals The path must not pass through any Obstacles specified in this GoalMap instance

Declaration
Path FindPathAvoidingGoals(int x, int y)
Parameters
Type Name Description
System.Int32 x

X location of the beginning of the path, starting with 0 as the farthest left

System.Int32 y

Y location of the beginning of the path, starting with 0 as the top

Returns
Type Description
Path

A Path representing ordered List of Points from the specified location away from Goals and avoiding Obstacles

FindPaths(Int32, Int32)

Returns a ReadOnlyCollection of Paths representing all of the shortest paths from the specified location to the Goal or Goals determined to have the highest priority This method is useful when there are multiple paths that would all work and we want to have some additional logic to pick one of the best paths The FindPath( int x, int y ) method in the GoalMap class uses this method and then chooses the first path.

Declaration
ReadOnlyCollection<Path> FindPaths(int x, int y)
Parameters
Type Name Description
System.Int32 x

X location of the beginning of the path, starting with 0 as the farthest left

System.Int32 y

Y location of the beginning of the path, starting with 0 as the top

Returns
Type Description
System.Collections.ObjectModel.ReadOnlyCollection<Path>

A ReadOnlyCollection of Paths representing all of the shortest paths from the specified location to the Goal or Goals determined to have the highest priority

RemoveGoal(Int32, Int32)

Remove a Goal at the specified location

Declaration
void RemoveGoal(int x, int y)
Parameters
Type Name Description
System.Int32 x

X location of the Goal starting with 0 as the farthest left

System.Int32 y

Y location of the Goal starting with 0 as the top

RemoveObstacle(Int32, Int32)

Remove an Obstacle at the specified location

Declaration
void RemoveObstacle(int x, int y)
Parameters
Type Name Description
System.Int32 x

X location of the Obstacle starting with 0 as the farthest left

System.Int32 y

Y location of the Obstacle starting with 0 as the top
