Tile

The Tile class contains information about what is on the tile and what it is a part of. A Tile can be either be part of a booth, be part of a line, or neither.

Methods

Tile.get_booth()

A Tile object can be part of a booth. In other words, this means that the Tile represents the area where a table and the recruiters would be in an actual career fair. Multiple Tile objects make up a single booth, but all the Tile objects must be positioned in a straight line.

Thus, if the specified Tile object is part of a booth, Tile.get_booth() returns the name of the company at the booth, and otherwise returns None.

Tile.get_line()

Each company has a line associated with the booth. For more information on how the line works, please go to the Line page. In short, however, Tile.get_line() returns the name of the company associated with the line if the tile is part of a line, and otherwise returns None.

The Line page explains more on what it means to be "part of a line".

Tile.get_num_bots()

This method returns the number of bots on the tile.

Tile.is_end_of_line()

This method returns True if the tile is the end of a line, and otherwise returns False. Again, reference the Line page for more on what it means to be the end of a line.

Tile.get_threshold()

This method returns the number of turns it takes to move to a tile. As explained in the problem statement, the more people there are on the destination tile, the longer it takes to move into that tile.

Tile.is_visible()

This method returns True if the tile is visible to the player, and False if the tile is not visible to the player.

Tile.get_loc()

Returns the tuple (x, y) of the object.

More about movement is explained in the Direction page.
