This makes the right 10 pixels not clickable.

• Select information to give randomized with priorities.
• Add maximum amount of information to give.
• Tasks exchange priorities are their priorities.
• Map information priorities are the count the goblin walked on a location plus the value of the location.

The window has a white border on the left and bottom.

Materials should not be managed by the environment class. They should be a non-global object.

A planned task is the desire to do something, while a task is the technical realisation of doing something.
A planned task is a meta goal, like walk home, or get food, while a task is an algorithm for doing such thing from a specific state, like walk from P to Q.
Thus, a planned task has for example a priority and lives longer, while a task just lives while it is executed. Hence, it doesn't need a priority.

Maybe there is a better wording than task and planned task.

Starvation prevention just uses a heuristic guessing how far the way home could be.
This should be replaced with actual path finding.

Make command output differentiable from echo output.

Seems like some entity is returning null for getBounds()

When you want to press a button, you have to click above it.

Maybe goblins should forget what they know from time to time.
This could lead to specializations. Or just destroy everything.

• Should the memory of the goblins be hard limited?
• Inverted priorities for the selection which information to forget?
• If the goblin forgets his way home, he probably dies.

Entities might be collided two times at once.

After exiting, the VM keeps running. Probably a thread is not terminated.

Make the viewport changeable to allow zooming and limit the players viewport at the start.

Currently, anyone can unlock any location. When unlocking a location, the caller should pass something to make sure that he locked the location before.

Their internal position is not updated, but the movement smoothing continues to work.
The movement smoothing should be paused, too.

Add the ability to select an entity and show the user basic data about that entity.

And use that directory for all IO

This allows to embed the application on a website.
Should be done as soon as possible, as it will become harder the later it is done.

The task ai is currently bad, it should not be combined with the scheduling method. Maybe remove the queue from the task AI, and let the goblin ai decide what to execute next. For queueing, there is the composite task.

The game will be played at a much lower update rate than now, to allow the player to understand what happens. This makes it necessary to animate movement, so that the player cab easily follow one entity.

Currently, entities can walk past each other, if they are right next to each other, and then switch positions. Should a collision happen in this case?

Exchanging knowledge is slowing the game down. This should not be the case.

It is not used anyways.

Tasks should not change after being started, or, even better, after creation.
This gives the AI more control over what happens, and may solve the starvation problem (#28).

The update should be executed in the next update phase.

Get info on how to do that.

Tasks are enqueued by the played and executed like this:

1. Find building space
   • Randomly search around the spawn point.
   • Place placeholder
2. Gather resources
   • Split goblins according to the amount of resources needed. For example, if 3 stone and 4 dirt are needed, 3/7 of all golins should mine stone, and 4/7 of all goblins should mine dirt. This is updated dynamically.
   • Goblins bring the resource to the stockpile, if there is one, otherwise they drop it on the ground.
3. Build
   • Move all resources to the building.
   • If all resources are there, one goblin per pixel starts building. After finishing the building, all goblins are teleported out of the building area, as it is not traversable now.

In cea78ff, when reaching about 1200 entities, the frame rate drops to the bottom.

Steps:

• Add maximum updates per frame logic
• ...

The base for the swarm, should, as of now, be an endless source for food.

The window should be opened at the position it was closed last time.

Goblins should walk back to spawn if their food is low.
Goblins should not work in tasks that are too long to finish without starving.

When an entity is selected, its planned path should be drawn.

Drawables with a higher priority should be drawn later on, so that they are more visible.

Was tested in the ATIS. Game seems to shutdown correctly, but the JVM keeps running.

The game was started with the run.sh script.
