public interface TwoPhaseMoveState<T> extends State<TwoPhaseMoveState.TwoPhaseMove<T>>
Represents the states of puzzles or two-player games whose moves are described by two objects, i.e., from and to. From a user interface-centric viewpoint, it is suitable for puzzles or two-player games where moves are made from a source to a target location. Thus, a move is specified in two phases, each requiring a selection, e.g., two subsequent mouse clicks are need.
