Re: [Swarm-Support] return Object color

[Paul Johnson]

Get the object, then ask it for its color. Write in your object a method

- (int)getColor;

maybe it is OK if the return is (Color), I don't recall.

Then when you take an object off the grid, you have to cast it
to be a certain type of object, say Heatbug, and then use getColor to 
find its color.

If you have only a few colors, a model like this may go faster if you
create separate grids, one for each color. That way you know what color 
you are getting when you take an object out.
