Muse: A parallel agent-based simulation environment » code generator http://musesimulation.org Fri, 13 Nov 2009 09:46:18 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 en hourly 1 muse code generator v 0.1 ready! http://musesimulation.org/2009/03/muse-code-generator-v-01-ready/ http://musesimulation.org/2009/03/muse-code-generator-v-01-ready/#comments Wed, 25 Mar 2009 22:53:58 +0000 mez http://musesimulation.org/?p=101 Great news! Using python I was able to create a flexible code generator. With this new tool users will be able to get up and coding in no time. For the latest version 0.1 the following features have been added:

  1. Creating a project – this creates all necessary directories for muse to function correctly
  2. Creating Agents – now you can generate Agent classes with stub methods for you to directly implement. This includes all necessary #include definitions.
  3. Creating States – now you can generate State classes with stub methods for you to directly implement. This includes all necessary #include definitions.
  4. Creating Events – now you can generate Event classes with stub methods for you to directly implement. This includes all necessary #include definitions.

For the next release I am working on ability to generate a Makefile for the user’s project. Also, when a project is created I am working on aumtomatically generating the main class with the calls to the Simulation class already set. My hope is to get far enough to have a project that can compile.

Things that I had todo just to get going:

  • Create Project Directories and sub-directories for the various classes.
  • I had to generate my main c++ file.
  • I had to setup my agent classes to subclass from the Agent class.
  • I had to setup my event classes to subclass from the Event class.
  • I had to setup my state classes to subclass from the State class.

These task can be automated and should shave off much needed time, which should leave the developer to the good parts :-) I don’t have an exact timeline, but I am pushing to get this feature out the door before the beta release! Have you ever created a code generator? Consider leaving me some tips and hints, this will be my first time, and right now I am thinking of using python. What do you think?
