Method Detail

createLaw

public abstract Law createLaw(java.lang.String className,
                              BlockReaderLocation brL,
                              BlockReader br,
                              int lawnumber,
                              Physics phys)
                       throws BRLoadingException

This method should create a new Law object. The arguments, except for className and brL are passed on to the Law constructor, so the class has to have a constructor of this form.
