- Method Detail
  - execute
```
java.util.Set<Perceivable> execute(Executable action)
```
    Executes the given action and returns the resulting percepts.
    
    Parameters:
    
    action - an executable
    
    Returns:
    
    a set of percepts.
  - execute
```
java.util.Set<Perceivable> execute(java.util.Collection<? extends Executable> actions)
```
    Executes the given actions simultaneously and returns the resulting percepts.
    
    Parameters:
    
    actions - a collection of executables.
    
    Returns:
    
    a set of percepts.
  - getPercepts
```
java.util.Set<Perceivable> getPercepts(Agent agent)
```
    Retrieves the current percepts for the given agent.
    
    Parameters:
    
    agent - an agent.
    
    Returns:
    
    a set of percepts perceivable for the given agent.
  - reset
```
boolean reset()
```
    Resets the environment, i.e. brings it to its initialization state.
    
    Returns:
    
    "true" iff reset was successful.
