public DesktopAgent()
initGUI
public void initGUI()
- Description copied from class:
AbstractAgent
- This method is called by the specific external graphic system (as the G-Box)
to ask the agent to prepare a graphical interface. The agent developer should
use a setGUIObject(...) within this method, as well as other necessary
initializations. If the developer does not overload this method, a vanilla text
output might be used as the default interface.
- Overrides:
initGUI
in class AbstractAgent
activate
public void activate()
- Description copied from class:
AbstractAgent
- This method is initially called when the micro-kernel registers the agent.
Usually a good place to set up some initial groups and roles.
Here is a typical example (taken from the PingPong
agent of MadKit (plugin demos)) :
public void activate()
{
try {
createGroup(true,"ping-pong",null,null);
println ("No ping-pong group : I created one");
creator=true;
} catch (OrganizationRequestException e) { // the group already exists
creator=false;
println ("A ping-pong group already exists : I will join");
}
requestRole("ping-pong","player",null);
}
- Overrides:
