Static Game State Evaluation

This package is where static evaluation functions are implemented.

• HeuristicMethod defines the general interface of a heuristic method for evaluating a board state.
• KMinDist is a heuristic method which partitions territory based on the number of king moves it would take for queen to get to a given square.
• QMinDist is a heuristic method identical to KMinDist, except that it evaluates territories based on queen moves instead of king moves.
• X is a heuristic method that is a little more involved than QMinDist and KMinDist, however we have found it unremarkable.

Class	Description
HeuristicMethod	This defines the interface that describes a heuristic method for evaluating a board state.
KMinDist	This evaluation is identical to QMinDist, except that this one claims territory for each color if they would need fewer King moves to reach it, rather than the traditional distance calculation using queen moves.
QMinDist	This evaluation is identical to KMinDist, except that this one claims territory for each color if they would need fewer Queen moves to reach it.
X	An implementation of the X term presented in a 2014 paper by Runxing Zhong and Ke Zhou.
