Still the Stupidmodel

Now I wonder if I could modify the agents "HabitatCell" to become normal agents and forget the idea of cell versus agents.


What I did:
I decided to consider each HabitatCell as an agent that shares the grid with the other agents.

1- I've created a new class which extends DefaultStyleOGL2D (I had to look for a way to exchange the shape of the agents (http://repast.10935.n7.nabble.com/Changing-agent-shape-on-the-fly-using-extending-DefaultStyleOGL2D-td9543.html) to the folder 'observer':

package stupidmodel.observer;

import java.awt.Color;

import repast.simphony.visualizationOGL2D.DefaultStyleOGL2D;

import saf.v3d.scene.VSpatial;

import stupidmodel.HabitatCell;

/**

 * A simple custom color implementation for {@link HabitatStyle} agents.

 * 

 * <p>

 * The color of each agent depends on the food quantity.

 * Dark green means more food

 * </p>

 */

public class HabitatStyleOGL2D extends DefaultStyleOGL2D {

/**

* @return a circle of radius 4.

*/

  public VSpatial getVSpatial(Object agent, VSpatial spatial) {

  //if (spatial == null) {

      spatial = shapeFactory.createRectangle(10, 10);

   

  //}

    return spatial;

  }

/**

* Returns a modified color value for an agent. Bit tricky, though.

* 

* @see repast.simphony.visualizationOGL2D.DefaultStyleOGL2D#getColor(java.lang.Object)

*/

@Override

    public Color getColor(final Object agent) {

if (agent instanceof HabitatCell) {

final HabitatCell cell = (HabitatCell) agent;

            final double food = cell.getFoodAvailability();

            //System.out.println("Food availability:"+ food);

            final int strength = (int) Math.min(200 * food, 255);

            return new Color(0, strength, 0); // 0x000000 - black,

                                              // 0x00FF00 - green

    }

return super.getColor(agent);

}

2- At the StupidModelContextBuilder class I've added the following lines (and removed all the lines related to 'ValueLayer':

/** In the same grid, HabitatCell agents are added: */

for (int i = 0; i < Constants.GRID_SIZE; ++i) {

for (int j = 0; j < Constants.GRID_SIZE; j++){

final HabitatCell cell = new HabitatCell(i,j);

context.add(cell);

grid.moveTo(cell, i, j);

}

}

3- At the HabitatCell class the following method is simplified:

       @ScheduledMethod(start = 1, interval = 1, priority = 1)

        public void growFood() {

                foodAvailability += RandomHelper.nextDoubleFromTo(0.0,

                                maximumFoodProductionRate);

               

              

        }

4- Finally at the Agent Selection of the Options Editor, I've added the agent HabitatCell and at the grid style, selected the 'stupidmodel.observer.HabitatStyleOGL2D'.
