Class GameState

java.lang.Object
  talx.model.GameState

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public class GameState

extends java.lang.Object

implements java.io.Serializable

Holds the state of a Game. Although game classes can hold some types of state, the game state object holds all of the volatile state information about game play. That is, the game objects may hold information that must be supplied to the view constructors, but all subsequent information about view updates should come from the key/value pairs held in a game state object.
