Distributed Agent Compiler
Senior Project: 1998-1999
Justin Brinkhoff, Nicole Dempsey, Steven Goss, Timothy Greenfield and Craig Mahonchak
AgentSheets empowers a wide range of computer users, including
children, students, teachers and professionals, with no programming experience,
to create their own SimCity-like interactive simulations and games. These
simulations are the result of a cooperating set of programmable "agents", whose
behavior is defined in the Visual AgenTalk (VAT) programming language. The
D I S T R I B U T E D Agent
Compiler (DAC) compiles an agent's behavior into Java byte code. The DAC is
integrated into
D I S T R I B U T E D
Ristretto and its related components to produce platform independent
simulations.
