public class ComputerPlayer

extends Player

This class represents a ComputerPlayer which uses a DecisionEngine for getting the next best move. A computer player generates moves in the same thread and hence implements the generateNextMove method. This is unlike the HumanPlayer who never implements the above method but instead relies on the UI to set the users next move.
