Interface SerializableStateFactory

All Known Implementing Classes:

SerializableCartPoleStateFactory, SerializableFrostbiteStateFactory, SerializableGridWorldStateFactory, SerializableInvertedPendulumStateFactory, SerializableLunarLanderStateFactory, SerializableMountainCarStateFactory, SimpleSerializableStateFactory

public interface SerializableStateFactory

A factory interface for generating SerializableState instances from an input State by using the serialize(burlap.oomdp.core.states.State) method. This interface requires a getGeneratedClass() method that reports the specific SerializableState implementation that is returned so that complex classes that have State instances to be turned into a SerializableState can map them to the appropriate class type.
