Method Details

init(self)
(Constructor)

Initializes a simulation to contain the given list of agents. If you would like to create your own turn state and dynamics, override the methods generateOrder and createTurnDynamics.

Parameters:

entities - list or dictionary of Agent instances

Returns: new empty dictionary

Overrides: object.__init__

(inherited documentation)

microstep(self, turns=`[]`, hypothetical=False, explain=False, suggest=False, debug=Debugger (0))

Step forward by the action of the given entities

Parameters:

turns - the agents to act next (defaults to result of next), each entry in the list should be a dictionary:
- name: the name of the agent to act
- choices: the list of possible options this agent can consider in this turn (defaults to the list of all possible actions if omitted, or if the list is empty)
hypothetical - if True, then this is only a hypothetical microstep; otherwise, it is real
explain - if True, then add an explanation to the result
suggest - if True, then suggest possible belief changes to ensure that the behavior in this step meets whatever objectives have been specifieid (default is False)

Returns:

a dictionary of results:

decision: the dictionary of actions performed in this turn
delta: the changes to the state (suitable for passing in to applyChanges)
explanation: an XML document explaining what happened in this step and why

Overrides: PsychAgents.PsychAgents.microstep
