Method Details

generate

T generate(S mas,
 SimulationParameters params)

Generates a new agent for the given multi-agent system.

Parameters:

mas - some multi-agent system.

params - this object can be used for sharing parameters across the generating components of a simulation.

Returns:

an agent for type T

setSeed

void setSeed(long seed)

Set the seed for the generation. Every two runs of generations with the same seed are ensured to be identical.

Parameters:

seed - some seed.
