Revision as of 22:02, 17 April 2012 by imported>Mike
Definition: | The Next-to condition checks to see how many of the 8 adjacent neighbors in the same layer have a certain shape. If the agent is next to the right number of the specified shapes, the condition is true. Otherwise, the condition is false. |
Parameters: | comparator, formula, shape |
Example: | The Particle agent in the Accretion 3D project checks if it is next to at least one stationery Particle in the same layer or in the layers above (+1) or below (-1). If so, it changes itself to be a stationery Particle, increments a count and maps its color to a shade, based on the current count of stationery particles. |
