public class Wall

extends java.lang.Object

implements java.lang.Cloneable, java.io.Serializable

This forms the representation of the wall in a game of Mahjong. The class inserts given tiles into the back of the wall array and then draws from the back when tile is needed. Two walls are stored- the ordinary and honour walls. Tiles are drawn from the ordinary wall whenever a PICKUP is made from the Game. Tiles are drawn from the honour Wall whenever a player reveals or declares a Kong or when they extend a Pung into a Kong.
