Abstract

Multi Agent Simulations are well known and widely-used simulations which can simulate embodied agents in neighbourhoods or environments. The designing of such environments has, so far, mainly to be done by hard coding them directly in the simulation source code. In this paper we present EnvEdit, a graphical environment editor for MASON. EnvEdit leads to a less time consuming and less error-prone design of environments.
