public abstract class State

extends java.lang.Object

implements StateConstants, SkillLatticeConstants

The State determines how the training program behaves inbetween drills, tasks, and skills. (Constraints determine how system behaves DURING drills and tasks)

Constructor Detail

State

public State(Controller c,
             SkillLattice sl,
             Skill s)

Method Detail

initialize

public abstract void initialize()

This method should be called to init the state. ie create/load the constraints and components.

process

public abstract void process(TaskProperties tp)

This method should be called to alert the state of possible new task properties. Getting new task properties is how the state knows when to transition to a new state or task.

getStatus

public abstract java.lang.String getStatus()

This method returns the name of the current skill, drill, etc.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Returns the class name of the state.

endTask

public final void endTask()

loadTask

public final void loadTask(Task t)

updateProgress

public void updateProgress(Mastery criteria,
                           java.lang.String history)

resetProgress

public final void resetProgress()

getController

protected final Controller getController()

getSkills

protected final SkillLattice getSkills()

getSkill

protected final Skill getSkill()

getCurrentTask

protected final Task getCurrentTask()

setSkill

protected final void setSkill(Skill s)
