[Rails-devel] 1880 foreign investor connectivity

[Stefan F. <ste...@we...>]

Martin & Mike:
there are answers by both Lonny and Helmut, that solve the issue, how 
the connectivity between foreign investor and public company is defined.

It is running a virtual D train on a network without any intercepting 
tokens. If that train can run from the token of the foreign investor to 
any token of the public company, the investor and the company are 
considered to be connected.

As I intend to write a routine to check if any train can run a given 
network to allow Rails determine if a company needs to buy a train, you 
can leverage on that upcoming addition.

However I would like to ask the call to the procedure from the core 
engine to the UI, as I prefer to have all calls to the algorithm package 
to come from the UI instead of the core engine. This also avoids calls 
to the algorithm package during reload. Is it reasonable for you to move 
that call to you?

Thanks,
Stefan
