117 /* This program operates by filling in a state table representing the best
118 * possible trips you could make; the ones that makes you the most money.
119 * This is feasible because we don't look at all the possible trips.
120 * We define a list of things that are germane to this game and then only
121 * consider the best outcome in each possible game state.
123 * Each cell in the table represents a state in the game. In each cell,
124 * we track two things: 1. the most money you could possibly have while in
125 * that state and 2. one possible way to get into that state with that
128 * A basic analysis can be done with a two-dimensional table: location and
129 * fuel. planeteer-1.0 used this two-dimensional table. This version
130 * adds features mostly by adding dimensions to this table.
132 * Note that the sizes of each dimension are data driven. Many dimensions
133 * collapse to one possible value (ie, disappear) if the corresponding
134 * feature is not enabled.
136 * The order of the dimensions in the list of constants below determines
137 * their layout in RAM. The cargo-based 'dimensions' are not completely
138 * independent -- some combinations are illegal and not used. They are
139 * handled as three dimensions rather than one for simplicity. Placing
140 * these dimensions first causes the unused cells in the table to be
141 * grouped together in large blocks. This keeps them from polluting
142 * cache lines, and if they are large enough, prevent the memory manager
143 * from allocating pages for these areas at all.
145 * If the table gets too big to fit in RAM:
146 * * Combine the Edens, Cloaks, and UnusedCargo dimensions. Of the
147 * 24 combinations, only 15 are legal: a 38% savings.
148 * * Reduce the size of the Fuel dimension to 3. We only ever look
149 * backwards 2 units, so just rotate the logical values through
150 * the same 3 physical addresses. This is good for an 82% savings.
151 * * Reduce the size of the Edens dimension from 3 to 2, for the
152 * same reasons as Fuel above. 33% savings.
153 * * Buy more ram. (Just sayin'. It's cheaper than you think.)
