ALife.Creatur.Task

Provides tasks that you can use with a daemon. These tasks handle reading and writing agents, which reduces the amount of code you need to write.

It’s also easy to write your own tasks, using these as a guide.)

type AgentProgram u = Agent u -> StateT u IO (Agent u)

A program involving one agent. The input parameter is the agent. The program must return the agent (which may have been modified).

type AgentsProgram u = [Agent u] -> StateT u IO [Agent u]

A program involving multiple agents. The input parameter is a list of agents. The program must return a list of agents that have been *modified*. The order of the output list is not important.
