Michael Taylor dcd2f33f7c CODEBASE: Update api-documentor and api-extractor (#2320)
* Update api-documentor and api-extractor. #1566 follow-up.

I have verified that the HTML/markdown table generation bug in
[#4878](https://github.com/microsoft/rushstack/issues/4878) in rushstack
for api-documentor has been fixed as per rushstack#5256. The testcase
[repro](https://github.com/catloversg/api-documenter-bug-pr-4578) now
produces the correct expected output.

I have confirmed that the generated output in bitburner from
`npm run doc` now generated HTML tables, and correctly inserts
a blank line between the </table> and the follow line (e.g. Returns).

Stylisticly it could use some whitespace, but it is correctly rendered.

This commit is only the updated packages, not the updated generated
documentation. I assume that is automatically generated by the GitHub
workflow.

* Follow up to 5f732a6f35, include `npm run doc` changed docs.

* Add missing license info

* Fix React warning

Home > bitburner > GoAnalysis > getChains

GoAnalysis.getChains() method

Returns an ID for each point. All points that share an ID are part of the same network (or "chain"). Empty points are also given chain IDs to represent continuous empty space. Dead nodes are given the value null.

Takes an optional boardState argument; by default uses the current board state.

The data from getChains() can be used with the data from getBoardState() to see which player (or empty) each chain is

For example, a 5x5 board might look like this. There is a large chain #1 on the left side, smaller chains 2 and 3 on the right, and a large chain 0 taking up the center of the board.

 [ [ 0,0,0,3,4], [ 1,0,0,3,3], [ 1,1,0,0,0], [null,1,0,2,2], [null,1,0,2,5], ] 

Signature:

getChains(boardState?: string[]): (number | null)[][];

Parameters

Parameter

Type

Description

boardState

string[]

(Optional) Optional. The current board state, as an array of strings. Defaults to the current board state.

Returns:

(number | null)[][]

A 2D array of numbers identifying the chain ID of each point.

Remarks

RAM cost: 16 GB (This is intentionally expensive; you can derive this info from just getBoardState() )
