All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class GameActionException
extends Exception

An exception caused by a robot's interaction with the game world. For instance, trying to move a robot into an occupied square will cause a GameActionException to be thrown.

Each GameActionException has a type that roughly identifies what caused the exception.

In addition to GameActionException, some robot functions can throw the unchecked exceptions IllegalStateException and IllegalArgumentException. An IllegalStateException is thrown if this robot can never successfully call the function (for example, a solder trying to regenerate). An IllegalArgumentException is thrown if this type of robot can never successfully call the function with the given arguments (for example, an archon trying to spawn another archon). A GameActionException is thrown in all other circumstances.
