Interim Report Time :(

So since I last blogged a few things have happened. I have finished the text parser just doing the debugging now. I'm working on agent location and movements at the minute. Trying to find out how to best locate the player in the world. Other than that no real concrete progress has been made. I have to admit to a little bit of slacking off and doing other assignments rather than project work. Had a meeting with Rem a week or two ago where we talked about the agent and how we would like to do things was good took some good notes. We talked about how the project is more complicated than we first thought but hopefully I can lay a good foundation to enable some other student to take a crack at making a more complex agent team next year. Showed Rem how the server works and all in all a good meeting was had. Have one tomorrow. Interim report is due next Friday so the plan is to find out what goes into one tomorrow and then do a first draft over the weekend. Supposed to be 10 pages will easily fill that quota. Could fill 10 pages talking about the Soccer Server ffs. Project has turned out to be very complex. By committing to building my own implementation of things like the message parser etc I have taken on a lot of work some of which is very complicated. Hopefully once I get the report out of the way March will prove to be a more productive month. Plan at the minute is to get a draft of the reort done by Monday and sort out the text parser once and for all over the weekend. Gotta get all the kinks ironed out.
