  • 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.
