The Avoider class is a class which helps Actors get around obstacles.

If the Actor is blocked by something ((client isBlocked:) is TRUE), the Avoider takes over and attempts to get around whatever is blocking the Actor.

The Avoider Class

Author: Jeff Stephenson

Date: 5 April 1988

 


The Avoider Class

The Avoider class is a class which helps Actors get around obstacles. If an Avoider is installed in avoider in an Actor, it gets called instead of the usual motion class when it is time to move the object. The Avoider then calls the motion and checks to see if the Actor was able to move. If the Actor is blocked by something ((client isBlocked:) is TRUE), the Avoider takes over and attempts to get around whatever is blocking the Actor. In some cases it looks really smart, in others astoundingly stupid. As we work on it, it should get better.
