communication
how to do the announcements of messages among the agents?
how does the agent A say to the agent B something and B responds? that the agent A sends it a string to B and vice versa
the docs present these instructions:
1. self observe instance controller for-notification "New Object" with-method "notify-of-new-object".
2. + to notify-of-new-object from-instance announcer (object) with-message message (string):
print "I got the message $message from $announcer!".
Can you help me with a simple code example?
thanks!!!
the missing step...
The missing step is to say:
agentA announce message "notify-of-new-object".
Message announcements aren't necessarily the best way to do two-way communication however -- they're more for one-way communication. So the other option is to just call the method in the target object directly so that it can give back a return value.
