Class ShearTest

Simple algorithm to test the Shear suboracle.

All particles along a contiguous line are marked as members. The root particle acts as the anchor.

PinsPerEdge

Methods

ActivateBeep()

This is the second part of the main activation logic of the particle. It is called exactly once in each round, after the movements scheduled in ActivateMove() have been executed, and should contain the algorithm code that implements the look-compute-beep cycle.

Inside of this method, particles are allowed to change their pin configuration and send beeps and messages on the updated configuration.

Note that beeps and messages sent in the current round will be readable in both the ActivateMove() and ActivateBeep() calls in the next round.

Declaration

public override void ActivateBeep()

Overrides

ParticleAlgorithm.ActivateBeep()

ActivateMove()

This is one part of the main activation logic of the particle. It is called exactly once in each round and should contain the algorithm code that implements the look-compute-move cycle. After the movements are executed, ActivateBeep() is called within the same round.

Inside of this method, particles are allowed to release bonds, define which bonds should be marked, and schedule movements. Only the last movement operation scheduled in this method will be applied.

Declaration

public override void ActivateMove()

Overrides

ParticleAlgorithm.ActivateMove()

Init(bool, bool, bool, bool, int, bool)

Declaration

public void Init(bool isRoot, bool isAnchor, bool m, bool clockwise, int count = 1, bool stickEndHead = false)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
bool	isRoot
bool	isAnchor
bool	m
bool	clockwise
int	count
bool	stickEndHead

Oracle(ParticleSystem)

Executes the oracle rounds for the shear test. Round 0: Collects members, initializes and activates the shear suboracle. Round 1: Continues activating the shear suboracle until it finishes.

Declaration

public static bool Oracle(ParticleSystem system)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
ParticleSystem	system	The particle system.

Returns

Type	Description
bool	True if the shear test is complete, false otherwise.
