Description copied from interface: Player

This function - often used as a callback function - evaluates the given move in the context of the given game; it is expected to return quickly. This function is really the only function that contains proprietory knowlege about the game (as all other functions could be implemented generically without domain knowlege; this is why the class TemplatePlayer provides already most methods except this function for easy implementations of this interface); heuristic() asks for a heuristic of the move given the game status - treating the status as a leaf in a potential search tree (whereas evaluate() may perform a game tree search before returning a value).

Specified by:

heuristic in interface Player

Overrides:

heuristic in class BJPlayer
