A Simple Discrete-Event Simulation: Part 75

Posted on January 23, 2017 by R.P. Churchill

Today I expanded the capability of the Bag component to allow entities to reside there, spawn new sub-entities that undergo an external process of their own, and return to the “parked” entity. Delay times can be specified that control how … Continue reading →

A Simple Discrete-Event Simulation: Part 69

Posted on January 10, 2017 by R.P. Churchill

Today I ticked one item off the To Do list and generally streamlined other parts of the code. The list item involved modifying the Queue component so it would smoothly handle situations when the traversal time is set to zero. … Continue reading →
