Detailed Description

ShapePlace represents a single tile in the Shape to be built.

it is used solely in the processes of the solution engine. At all times the solution engine in Cube maintains an array of ShapePlace objects, one for every tile in the design. The order of this array is the exact order of the tiles in the generated Shape. This array is essentially the current state of the solution engine. it holds the information about which piece goes where and in what orientation. In addition to that, every ShapePlace object holds the data about what pieces were tried and failed in this place when this information is relevant. This simple structure is the heart of the solution engine. When a solution is found, a copy of the current ShapePlace array is made into an array of SlvCube::SlvPiece objects which resides in SlvCube.
