=head1 DESCRIPTION

This CPAN distribution implements the algorithm described here:

=over 4

=item * L<https://groups.google.com/group/comp.ai.games/msg/41e899e9beea5583?dmode=source&output=gplain&noredirect>

=item * L<http://www.shlomifish.org/lecture/Perl/Lightning/Opt-Multi-Task-in-PDL/>

=back

Given statistics on the performance of several game AI searches (or scans)
across a representative number of initial cases, find a scan
that solves most deals with close-to-optimal performance, by using switch
tasking.

=head1 SUBROUTINES/METHODS

=head2 my $chosen_scans_array_ref = $self->chosen_scans()

Returns the scans that have been chosen to perform the iteration. Each one is
a AI::Pathfinding::OptimizeMultiple::ScanRun object.

=head2 $calc_meta_scan->calc_meta_scan()

Calculates the meta-scan after initialisation. See here for the details
of the algorithm:

L<http://www.shlomifish.org/lecture/Freecell-Solver/The-Next-Pres/slides/multi-tasking/best-meta-scan/>

=head2 $self->calc_flares_meta_scan()

This function calculates the flares meta-scan: i.e: assuming that all atomic
scans are run one after the other and the shortest solutions of all
successful scans are being picked.

=head2 $calc_meta_scan->calc_board_iters($board_idx)

Calculates the iterations of the board $board_idx in all the scans.

Returns a hash_ref containing the key 'per_scan_iters' for the iterations
per scan, and 'board_iters' for the total board iterations when ran in the
scans.

=head2 my $status = $calc_meta_scan->get_final_status()

Returns the status as string:

=over 4

=item * "solved_all"

=item * "iterating"

=item * "out_of_quotas"

=back

=head2 my $sim_results_obj = $calc_meta_scan->simulate_board($board_idx, $args)

Simulates the board No $board_idx through the scan. Returns a
L<AI::Pathfinding::OptimizeMultiple::SimulationResults> object.

$args is an optional hash reference. It may contain a value with the key of
C<'chosen_scans'> that may specify an alternative scans to traverse.

=head2 my $n = $calc_meta_scan->get_total_iters()

Returns the total iterations count so far.

=head2 BUILD()

Moo leftover. B<INTERNAL USE>.
