Best fit
To eliminate irrelevant moves, the tiles that are out of place should always be adjacent to the hole. The tiles that are already in place should not be moved. The best fit algorithm eliminates the moves with a higher cost, but only for proceeding moves. This algorithm does not consider the overall cost associated with a path.

You can think of a tile as a square on the board on which the game will be played. We will come back to this class later. For the moment you can leave it empty while you work on creating classes that represents characters in the game. • Write an abstract class Fighter which has the following private fields: - A Tile field named position, representing the fighter's position in the game. A double field named health, representing the fighter's health points (HP). An int field named weaponType, representing the type of weapon the fighter is using. This value is used to rank different weapon types: higher values indicate higher weapon ranks. -An int field named attackDamage, representing the fighter's attack power. The class must also have the following public methods: 3 A constructor that takes as input a Tile indicating the position of the fighter, a double…arrow_forward
