simulation
Productive Weekend
Submitted by pirateguillermo on November 23, 2009 - 10:53amOver the weekend I started working on writing a simulation environment. On Saturday morning, I had an empty project. This morning, I have a couple of sample components that I can link together (programmatically, it's true). I can tell them that time is passing and have messages flow and computation occur correctly. And I've got unit tests for all this, so I can tell when I break it in the future. Not bad for a day and a half!
I Wish I Had a Tool
Submitted by pirateguillermo on November 18, 2009 - 2:50pmI keep thinking about the Salamander Simulation Engine (SSE) -- a codebase I worked on in the mid-nineties -- and thinking what a cool tool it was. For that matter, it likely still is, although the company has changed name and direction a bit since 1997. Now it's DecisionPower and they're all about market simulation. Back then they (we) were Salamander Interactive and it was about this general purpose simulation engine.
