Method Detail

setLocation

public void setLocation(Area area)

getLocation

public Area getLocation()

createContext

public abstract IConceptCtx createContext()

Creates a new context for this concept for use in a virtual machine.

Note: This method always returns a new instance and does not verify whether one is already created.

Overrides:

createContext in class Concept

Returns:

IConceptCtx the concept's context

isInstanceOf

public abstract boolean isInstanceOf(Concept concept)

Checks whether this active instance is an instance of the specified concept.

Parameters:

concept - the Concept to be checked to see if this active instance is an instance of the concept

Returns:

true if this active instance is an instance of the specified concept, false otherwise
