public class Processor

extends java.lang.Object

implements java.lang.Runnable

Processor is the "Central Brain" for Spore War. Eventhough Spore War is a decentralized system, the Central Brain will be used to keep things fairly reproducible. I beleive that there will be timing issues that I will eventually have to deal with like if two near by polygons move at the exact time what is the result. At this point the Processor will have unpredictable results. For now, I'm willing to live with that.

Team assignments (the integer numbers...) ....How is it done?

This first kick at the can will have:

• a heap like structure to organize the ordering of the "spores" actions
  • this is to simulate multiprocessing
• a listener to draw the resulting actions
• a very crude input interface

Here is a link to the source code
