Class BetterPerceptionManager

java.lang.Object
  vs.plotagent.BetterPerceptionManager

All Implemented Interfaces:

IAgentModule, IExplainable, IPerceptionManager

public class BetterPerceptionManager
extends java.lang.Object
implements IPerceptionManager

Better implementation of perception handling. Better separation of concerns between creating setting/perception, and registering result of operator. In comparison to BasicPerceptionManager, this one doesn't start interpreting the operator result as setting/perceptions up till the point where characters need to be informed. Also easier to install perception rules since it is clearer where this should be done. NOTE: Experimental; if bugs occur, one might use BasicPerceptionManager instead.
