allocate method

List<String> allocate(int _r, int _c)

simulation: Produce nice-looking allocation-list of resources.

Implementation

List<String> allocate(int _r, int _c) {
  //  TODO  use _c variable to control width
  //  init();  must be done somewhere.
  List<String> _l = [];
  StringBuffer _sB = new StringBuffer();
  _l.add(
      'Days Area:   Car:    Law:    Machine:Money:  Office: People: Time:');
  for (var x = 0; x < _r; x++) {
    String _dS = x.toString();
    //TODO  padRight(5, ' ')
    String _sbW = 'D:$_dS ';
    _sB.write(_sbW.padRight(5, ' '));

    ///  Write one of 8 resources in right place
    ///  int nextInt(int max);
    int _rand = random.nextInt(8); //  get one of first 8 resources.
    for (var x = 0; x < 8; x++) {
      if (x == _rand) {
        //  padRight(8, ' ')
        String _sP = resL[x].padRight(8, ' ');
        _sB.write(_sP);
      } else {
        _sB.write('_______ ');
      }
    }
    _l.add(_sB.toString());
    //  _sB.write();
    _sB.clear();
  }
  return _l;
