======Java specifications======
This page contains part of the Maze assignment specifications, specific to Java.


=====The game's objective=====
Your task is to design and implement player, that can find path in the maze from place A to place B. Ideally, the path should be optimal (shortest possible) and the player should find it in shortest possible time.

=====Player specification=====
Player is to be implemented in //MyPlayer// class, in //rph.labyrinth.players// package. You will have to create this class yourself, you can use already existing player //DummyPlayer// as source of inspiration. The //MyPlayer// class should have the following structure:
  *It extends //Player// class.
  *It contains method called //getName(){}//, which returns player's name.
  *It contains //findPath(int[][] map){}// method, which loads the maze, starts player's algorithm and returns result in data structure called //Path//. **If a path does not exist, the method should return //null//.** (As fast as possible, the time is still counted)


=====Game configuration=====
File named //configuration.xml// is used to set the maze parameters. Most important are:
  * **Player** parameter - (MyPlayer). 
  * **Map** load.
  * **Maze window location** - If, after running the code, it does not start and the code does not give you an error, there is a possibility that the window coordinates are set to different monitor. In that case, just change these values to 
<code>
windowLeft=“0” windowTop=“0” windowWidth=“800” windowHeight=“600”.
</code>

=====GUI maze functions=====
GUI maze contains 3 basic components
  *The map of the maze - the starting square is colored red and the final is colored  blue, walls are colored black.
  *Detailed description of configuration and player.
  *Control Buttons
    * **Find Path** - starts players algorithm for given map and shows you the resulting path.
    * **Plan Next Step** - server to help with stepping the player algorithm. See section Algorithm Stepping
    * **Load Configuration** - loads the current configuration from //configuration.xml//


=====Algorithm Stepping=====
To start algorithm stepping, use the //Plan Next Step// button. First of all you have to implement the stepping into the //findPath// method of your player. To do this do the following:
  -At first create //Path//, where you will save the individual squares.
  -In each step:
    - Delete from the map all shown paths: //removeAllPaths();//
    - Add current coordinates to //Path//: //path.addCoordinate(coordinate);// 
    - Show path (//Path//) in the maze's window: //addPath(path);//
    - Wait for next press of the button: //waitForNextStep();//
