[Rails-devel] Status of Tile & Map Code Integration

[Mark S. <mar...@gm...>]

I have been working this weekend to bring my collection of various
classes into my copy of Rails under two sub-packages
'rails.ui.swing.revenucenters' and 'rails.ui.swing.tiles'. I have been
updating to get them to compile, and use the 'Tag' class to load data
from data files. I expect that I have about 3-4 more classes to go
before I can actually draw the Tile Tray properly.

I was looking at the current copies of 'Company', 'PublicCompany',
'PrivateCompany' and I would like to ask another question.

I see a Company Class hierarchy as follows:

public class Company;

public class PrivateCompany extends Company; // A Company that has no
train, no tokens, and no tile-laying capability

public class TrainCompany extends Company; // A Company that can hold
one or more trains and can lay track

public class CoalCompany extends TrainCompany; // A TrainCompany that
has no Tokens (1837)

public class TokenCompany extends TrainCompany; // A TrainCompany that
has one or more Tokens

public class MinorCompany extends TokenCompany; // A TokenCompany that
is a Minor company with Certificates, but has a fixed share price

public class ShareCompany extends TokenCompany; // A TokenCompany that
is a Major company with Certificates that has flexible price based on
the Market

This could be extended to a SystemCompany that contains two
ShareCompanies. (1832)

 Does a structure like this make sense to you folks?
