Interface CardBoardModel

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractCardBoardModel

public interface CardBoardModel

This interface defines the methods components like JCardBoard use to get the value of each card in a board and the length of the list. Logically the model is a vector, indices vary from 0 to CardBoardModel.getSize() - 1. Any change to the contents or length of the data model must be reported to all of the CardBoardModelListener.
