Illegal Forward Reference and Enums

Question

I\'m programming a game in java which is made up of a grid of tiles. I wan\'t to be able to inuitively define the edges of the tiles and how they relate to each other, e.g.

Answer 1

public enum Edge {

    TOP,
    BOTTOM(Edge.TOP),
    LEFT,
    RIGHT(Edge.LEFT);

    private Edge opposite;

    private Edge() {

    }
    private Edge(Edge opp) {
        this.opposite = opp;
        opp.opposite = this;
    }

    public Edge opposite() {
        return this.opposite;
    }
}
