: It's not yet clearly enough described, so… “maybe” has got to be the answer. –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 13:24, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
:: For this one, single-user makes the most sense, I think. I'll have to get back later today and fix some problems with the task description. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 13:28, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
::: Single-user, for sure; otherwise, clients would have to be forced to be in sync with each other, and there would be a race condition if two agents picked up a ball at the same time.

In an analog way, if we say that uppercase characters stand for sector attributes, and lowercase for ball attributes, and use some punctuation characters for special operations, the following makes sense to me:
