I thought about bees, because they seem to have (such as our teacher suggested) same behaviors as ants with pheromones and stuff and they want same resources (especially SUGAR!! and they produce Honey, with Ants love...)

Remember: the goal of this project is to put two species attracted to the same resources, and another destroying everything. Hence, I don't see how Termites is a good choice...

We have not yet thought about pheromones communication. But later, with Romain, we argued that there is three types of pheromones, and two may be englobed.

• DANGER (meaning go away)
• FIGHT (attacking the other + also means help me!)
• FOOD (something interesting found).

Please tell me your opinion on the subject. This issue will be used to discuss this point furthermore. We, @MrJohnHenry and @belkacemlahouel, find this should be enough.

What other kind of information may be used inside the environment?

@zsuty @bourgeoismaxime

We have to manage the inter-connection of environments. A "cave" may also have several entries and/or exits!

Therefore, we should think about splitting (or not) the rules of the environment into two subclasses... I personally don't think it's necessary at the end. We just have to change our perception rules. As for the motion rules, they should be implemented inside the global environment containing "dimensions".

I need opinions.

@MrJohnHenry @bourgeoismaxime @zsuty

Can I put you in charge of creating a small environment with (eventually several interconnections, objects etc) inside a main function. This main function will call another function creating the environment, with parameters or from file reading. We'll need this function to test the printing of the GUI, and later to build an environment.

This function will be doing tasks like:

• New environment(size)
• getCell(x, y).addObject(new Object...)
• getCell(x, y).addPortal(new Environment...) I don't remeber the name of this one, if any issue, tell me.
• ...
  So the model is done (normally) and now we have to build, make "new" calls etc.

To do that, you may start the parser/writer, this should help us for the future (we have to do one anyways). The writer is for the backups, and the parser to load a previously written configuration.

Think about the organization of the file, and about whether you will be using XML or not etc.

Thanks 👍

@MrJohnHenry

When we put a new pheromone, how to "combine" the strength of multiple pheromones in the same position ? Merging when putting them or when perceiving...

I'd go for the first

@bourgeoismaxime this does not work dude

Hi there ! Working on the main, I encounter a problem : the abstract body class that @belkacemlahouel asks me to use for the agent body gui isn't linked to the other bodies (like antBody), so I can't test the AgentBodyGUI in the @bourgeoismaxime 's GUI. Am I missing something ?

• placing resources on the map
• placing bases
• placing new "big boss" (Spider)
• ...

Thank you in advance 👶 👍 ❤️ 🙈 😗 🐯 🐷

I need to work with you @bourgeoismaxime on the behavior of gui cause something appears strangely. I'll give you details tomorrow

@bourgeoismaxime @MrJohnHenry We sure can't test as long as we don't have specialized classes, but we need to see that the GUI is working. You should have enough API by now...

@zsuty

So far, for me, there is two kind of influences: motion influences and actions influences. They are completely different, they do not inherit one from another.

The motion influence says "okay, I'm here and I want to go there" and asks the environment "how far can I go?".

The action influence says "okay, I want to do this, can I finally do it?".

Furthermore, there is the problem of the enumeration of possible actions to perform. For me (and I discussed the idea with the prof) there is:

• ATTACK/CURE
• PICK/PUT
• EAT

I already started those implementations with the different interfaces.

On each turn, an agent may want to move or perform an action. I can't see how we could do both in one turn, we would have a too much complex problem to manage.

Please, help.

@zsuty @MrJohnHenry @bourgeoismaxime

Fuck 👍

Check DataToGlobalEnvironment... This is urgent, I thought it was already done...

By the way, you should not instantiate GUIBodies inside this function, this should be managed inside the GUI constructor.

I pushed my branch on GitHub but my new classes don't appear to be in the branch. It's useless to pull it until I fix this bug.
I'll work on multiple environment in the same window tomorrow in case any of you need it.

@bourgeoismaxime

Take a look at bodies capacities + interfaces to discuss about what we should add/remove.

@zsuty @MrJohnHenry @bourgeoismaxime

From baby to old and dead... 💯

Bugs and errors to correct: between GUI and simulator but also between the two classes in the GUI.
