Constructor Detail

MovingAgent

public MovingAgent(World world,
                   Area area,
                   float delay,
                   java.awt.Image image,
                   float speed)

Receives a speed and the paramaters of a normal agent.

Method Detail

setSpeed

protected void setSpeed(float speed)

Sets the speed of the agent.

getSpeed

public final float getSpeed()

Returns the speed of the agent.

acceptAction

protected boolean acceptAction(Agent.Action a)

Description copied from class: Agent

Global internal heuristic method of decision as to the actions to undertake. It is called before each call to an action to determinate whether it should be executed. If it returns 'false', the Agent.Action.whenRefused() method is called and the action who called acceptAction is killed. This method has an overwhelming power of decision on the action, which cannot ignore this decision. The default acceptAction method always returns true. It's designed to provide an easy-to-use main decision function to manage actions.

Overrides:

acceptAction in class Agent

translate

protected boolean translate(float x,
                            float y)

Translation with collision check.

rotate

protected boolean rotate(float a)

Rotation with collision check.

walk

protected boolean walk(float f)

Walk in the direction gived by the element angle, checking collisions.

fitStep

protected boolean fitStep()

Chooses the best direction where to move (where the largest move is possibleà and walk one step in this direction.

canSee

protected float canSee(float angle)

Returns the maximum distance that can be seen in this direction. Used to detect obstacles.

randomStep

protected boolean randomStep(float a)
