Class Move

java.lang.Object
  vooga.examples.networking.tictactoe.Move

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializeable

public class Move
extends java.lang.Object
implements Serializeable

Move is a simple example of how to use the Serializable interface. If you want to send a piece of data then wrap a class around that data and have it implements the Serializable interface to be able to send it over the network. In TicTacToe, the only piece of data we send besides status updates are moves. The Move class wraps the column and row that make up a move and has serialize and deserialize methods that convert the Move into a String to send over the network and convert the String into a Move to receive from the network.
