UML Diagram of how Map Generation classes interact

Note that a few fields and functions of MapGenerator were omitted in this summary for conciseness, as they are primarily used for unit testing, and not relevant to the ResourceGeneration of the map.

UML Summary

1. A MapGenerator is created with a set of static constants defined in AtlantisTerrainFactory, which calls generateMap() to create the game map
2. A ResourceGenerator is created, composed of the MapGenerator, and allocates space for a number of resources on the map, based on a list of ResourceSpecification that is read from a .json config file
3. Each entry of this list of ResourceSpecification contains a list of coordinate, representing places on the map to put this resource, which is passed back to MapGenerator and output to the game using its getResourcePlacements() function
