RogueSharp 3.0-pre NuGet Package
RogueSharp 3.0-pre Source Code

New features:

• Added Path class to provide a type with more functionality than simple IEnumerable
  • Returned from GoalMap and PathFinder classes
• Reworked GoalMap interface to be more consistent with Pathfinder class
  • Ability to add and remove obstacles
  • Ability to remove Goals once they are added
• Numerous bug fixes to GoalMap class
  • Fixed possible infinite recursion in some edge cases
  • Avoidance algorithm now will never choose  a Path through a Goal that is being avoided
• FxCop clean up

Breaking changes:

• Pathfinder now returns Path type instead of IEnumerable
• GoalMap now returns Path type instead of IEnumerable
• Map creation algorithms moved to their own namespace
• DiceNotation “Type” renamed to “TermType” to avoid being a keyword

GoalMap / Path Example:

// Create a new map that only has a wall around the border
var map = Map.Create( new BorderOnlyMapCreationStrategy
<Map>( 50, 50 ) );

// Create a new GoalMap for the map
var goalMap = new GoalMap( map );

// Add a Goal at X=10, Y=25 with a weight of 10
// Lower weights are more desirable
goalMap.AddGoal( 10, 25, 10 );

// Add a second Goal at X=40, Y=15 with a weight of 10
goalMap.AddGoal( 40, 15, 10 );

// Add an obstacle at X=1, Y=2
// An obstacle is something that a Path must not go through
// Examples: an ally, an enemy, water, etc.
goalMap.AddObstacle( 1, 2 );  

// Find a "best" path to a Goal based on Goal weight and distance to the Goal
// Start the path from X=1, Y=1
// The path will not pass through obstacles
Path path = goalMap.FindPath( 1, 1 );

// Get the number of steps in the path
// Output = 34 
Console.WriteLine( path.Length );

// Get the start of the path
// Output = 1:1
Console.WriteLine( "{0}:{1}", path.Start.X, path.Start.Y );

// Get the end of the path
// Output = 10:25
Console.WriteLine( "{0}:{1}", path.End.X, path.End.Y );

// Take a step forward along the path
Cell nextStep = path.StepForward();
// Output = 2:1
Console.WriteLine( "{0}:{1}", nextStep.X, nextStep.Y );

// Take a backward along the path
Cell previousStep = path.StepBackward();
// Output = 1:1
Console.WriteLine( "{0}:{1}", previousStep.X, previousStep.Y );

// Iterate through each Step along the Path
// Output = 1:1 - 2:1 - 2:2 - 2:3 - 2:4 - 2:5 - 2:6 - 2:7 - 2:8 - 2:9 - 2:10 - 
// 2:11 - 2:12 - 2:13 - 2:14 - 2:15 - 2:16 - 2:17 - 2:18 - 2:19 - 2:20 - 2:21 - 
// 2:22 - 2:23 - 2:24 - 2:25 - 3:25 - 4:25 - 5:25 - 6:25 - 7:25 - 8:25 - 9:25 - 10:25 -
foreach ( Cell step in path.Steps )
{
   Console.Write( "{0}:{1} - ", step.X, step.Y );
}
