Class VacuumWorld

java.lang.Object
  agent.Environment
      vacworld.VacuumWorld

public class VacuumWorld
extends Environment

A simulator for the vacuum cleaning world environment. This environment is inaccessible, deterministic, static and discrete.

Constructor Summary

VacuumWorld()

VacuumWorld(boolean interactive)

VacuumWorld(java.io.PrintStream output, boolean interactive)

Method Summary

void	addAgent(Agent agent) Add a new agent to the environment.
int	getPerformanceMeasure(Agent ag) Returns the performance measure of the agent in the current environment.
int	getTeamPerformanceMeasure() Returns the performance measure of an agent team in the current environment.
boolean	gotHome() Returns true if the robot has turned itself off in its origin square.
static void	main(java.lang.String[] args) Runs the program.
void	start(State initState) Starts the simulation.

Method Detail

addAgent

public void addAgent(Agent agent)

Add a new agent to the environment. Since the vacuum cleaning world is a single agent environment, this method should only be called once per object.

Specified by:

addAgent in class Environment

getPerformanceMeasure

public int getPerformanceMeasure(Agent ag)

Returns the performance measure of the agent in the current environment. Since there is only one agent, the ag parameter is ignored.

Specified by:

getPerformanceMeasure in class Environment

getTeamPerformanceMeasure

public int getTeamPerformanceMeasure()

Returns the performance measure of an agent team in the current environment. Since there is only one agent, we just return that agent's performance measure.

Specified by:

getTeamPerformanceMeasure in class Environment

gotHome

public boolean gotHome()

Returns true if the robot has turned itself off in its origin square.

main

public static void main(java.lang.String[] args)

Runs the program. By default, it runs in interactive mode, requiring the user to press a key after each action. To run in batch mode, use the -batch switch. To test the agent in different configurations, use the -rand seed argument, where seed is an integer to be used by the pseudo-random number generator.

start

public void start(State initState)

Starts the simulation. We override the method in agent.Environment so that VacuumWorld states can be displayed to a selected output stream.
