Included in the final deliverable:
Model:
-abstract interfaces for simulations, agents, and databases
-the simulation aka the framework for the game is behind an interface which can
be swapped out whenever you want
-the database interface affords the ability to swap out whatever database
implementation that you want while keeping the rest of the simulation intact
-the ability to upload custom agents and entities
-behaviors and rules:
oabstract behaviors that allow for essentially any manipulation of the
world to be possible
oabstract rules that can allow, deny, or change the execution of a
behavior in any way at all
oboth behaviors and rules that are not constrained by anything beyond
the designer's creativity
-a complete database back end in which the behaviors, rules, and entities are
stored and accessed, allowing dramatically improved flexibility and scalability
over a back end solely residing in memory
Network:
- server running on SkyNet1
- server accepting connections from multiple clients
- clients behind a router able to connect and receive events
- server administration GUI able to:
oconfigure port number used
oview logged on users
olog off a user
- client able to connect to an arbitrary IP
- client able to upload arbitrary agent code (1MB limit)
- client able to log in with user-defined username and password
- server able to handle agent logoff requests
- server sending media packages over network as byte array of the zip file
- demonstration agent that allows some additional non-standard command
View:
- able to select an entity feed from a list of available feeds
- 3D display of entities using IrrLicht engine
- able to select entities to view entity’s attributes and other information
- able to supply parameters to enact behaviors
- able to receive events and new updated entity information from data feeds
- able to send behavior requests from the user to the model
Database:
- able to store entities, attributes, rules, behaviors
- able to query behaviors by name
- able to query rules by general area of influence and two other arguments
- able to query entities by guid, attribute type, and attribute value
- able to query attribute types by name
- able to retrieve objects from the table
