What`s New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· Game phases can be assigned indefinite length (with no timers). Transitions out of such game phases are accomplished with phase advances that are invoked in the game configuration class.
· New "GAME_INITIALIZED" message. This new message is issued after the "GAME_STARTED" message and after the game configuration class has initialized all game-state objects. In contrast, "GAME_STARTED" is issued before game state is initialized.
· Newly designed administrator functionality (does not rely on XML-RPC)
· Improvements in efficiency of GamePalette class. (ArrayList rather than two HashTables) Expanded example 2 in agents directory. This example now supports both GUI and computational agents.
· Improvements in design and functionality of the general CT configuration class TheAutomatConfig. This class Now includes flags to control automatic movement and binding chip transfers.
