gondorlibrary

=gondorlibrary

The Gondor Library enables users of the Ruby language (on the MRI, JRuby or IronRuby) to quickly implement agents for all kinds of situations (for example game AI, or stock market modeling), while focusing on the task at hand, instead of writing a full agent simulation.

It is currently fully implemented in Ruby itself, with no outside dependencies.

=Installation and Usage

gem install gondorlibrary

require "rubygems" require "gondor"

braveheart = Gondor::AI:Entity.new("William Wallace") braveheart.killed_english_men 100 braveheart.update_killed_english_men 50 puts braveheart.killed_english_men

=About Milestone 1 (Version 0.1.0) contains a very basic, but working Entity system, featuring message sending, queues, and flexible entity creation.

=Features

• Entity attributes, that can be changed over time, and can be arbitrarily defined at runtime (either at the first call, or beforehand).
• Simple message queuing and retrieval (nothing more implemented yet).

=The Near Future GL will receive its own language (a DSL, I guess), to create rules and messages for the entities, to make use as easy as possible.
