public class MuehlePosition
extends GameBoardPosition

The class MuehlePosition represents a Muehle game position. The representation is an integer based on the following little ASCII graphic:

  00----------01----------02
   |           |           |
   |  08------09------10   |
   |   |       |       |   |
   |   |  16--17--18   |   |
   |   |   |       |   |   |
  07--15--23      19--11--03
   |   |   |       |   |   |
   |   |  22--21--20   |   |

getMuehlePairs

public static int[] getMuehlePairs(int pos)

As every potential muehle is closed by two pairs of 2 other positions having a piece of the same color, getMuehlePairs() returns an array of integers that represent the two pairs of Positions that fullfill this condition.

Returns:

an int[] with 4 elememts; the first two array elements represent the first position pair to potentially close the muehle, the next two elements represent the second position pair - or null if the given pos is not valid.
