I have a city-building game and have finished working on the player, who manually selects where to place something. I have not finished to AI, which is supposed to generate a point on the edge of or within it’s territory (an Area object).

Here is the method I am working on:

public Point getBuildPoint(){
        Random rand = gp.rand;

        int x = -1;
        int y = -1;

        if(currentState == expandState){
            //get point on the edge of the territory

        }else{
            //get point within the territory

        }
        //snap to grid
        x = Math.round((float) x / gp.tileSize)*gp.tileSize;
        y = Math.round((float) y / gp.tileSize)*gp.tileSize;

        return new Point(x, y);
    }

I looked into using the PathIterator object but didn’t find anything useful.
