Remote agent: Difference between revisions

I'mThis working onis a set of three tasks revolving around the concept of a 'remote agent.' The overarching theme of the task set is to have a simple, stateful world with an agent that operates on the world's state until the end conditions are met. The world is a grid of colored squares, and is populated to some percentage by colored balls. The ending condition is when all balls are in a square of the correct color. The perspective of the agent is limited; it is not given an overview of the world. It only knows its surroundings by responses to its actions. --[[User:ShortRead Circuit|Michaelon Mol]]below 07:44for a complete description of the virtual world, 14interface Februarycommands 2010and (UTC)stream protocol.

# [[Remote agent/Simulation|Implement the world simulation, accept and respond to agent commands via a stream interface]].

# [[Remote agent/Agent interface|Implement the agent side of the stream interface in a manner idiomatic to the language]].

# [[Remote agent/Agent logic|Use the agent stream interface to satisfy the end conditions]].

Here is a description of the world and commands. I haven't defined theThe stream protocol yet, but itbelow should be common among all implementations; any agent interface implementation should work equally well with any of the world simulation implementations.

* There may be 'wall' sectors within the area (including on the interior side of the outermost rim), but the no non-wall sector may be surrounded on four cardinal sides with wall sectors.

The stream protocol is simple. Every command is a single byte sent from the agent to the simulator, no line feed, no carriage return. Every event is a single byte sent from the simulator to the agent, no line feed, no carriage return. For the sake of simplicity, all bytes fall within the range of [65,90]33('!') to 124('|'), which correspondscorrespond to [A,Z]single visible grahic characters in ASCII, as well as in UTF-8.
