SoccerServer Overview / project update

Right so having read the first few chapters of the manual i just wanted to post a more concrete general overview of the soccersever program.

- Client -- Server Interaction
- Each Team is made up of 11 induvidual clients
- Comunicate via UDP/IP protocols
- Inter-Client Communication via Server only using talk commands
- Server Provides all low level functions e.g., Walk,turn,run,kick,stamina,vision
- Client is basically just a football players brain

Following on from a meeting with Rem i'm going to produce a paper with an overview of the soccerserver system. This will then be distributed to some experts in the college and Rem is going to organise a brain storming session. Hopefully we can then find a way to use Agent Factory in the making of the various clients required to make a team.

Simulator Woo's

So it would appear that i don't need to compare and contrast the simulators. They respond to the same commands and only offer different views of the game graphically. The simulators it appears do everything like walking, kicking, visual field, and a host of other things. I have to communicate with it through UDP protocols. I can then send instructions to the players in the simulators and they can also report back to me there current state e.g., where they are, how much energy they have, who is near them etc. Now i need to read this 120page manual in dept and extract the available commands and messages the simulator offers.

First Meeting

So i had an unplanned but very productive meeting with my project supervisor Rem. He explains the bones of the the design of agent based technology. He showed me the stack like representation which i have to draw out. My first goal is to compare and analysis the 2d and 3d simulators. Only downside to this is it looks like I'll have to live in Linux to do this project :'(

Welcome

This is a blog setup to record my progress with my 4th year project.
