Does someone out there have a pointer to some reference which is clear and concise and answers the question without a load of bullshit/marketing ...
I would like to know what kind of toolkits, languages, libraries exist for agent-based modeling and what are the pros/cons of them? Some examples of what I am thinking of are Swarm, Repast, and MASS. ...

Every agent looks something similar to: class Agent{ public: Vector2f pos; float health; float data[DATASIZE]; vector<Rule> rules; } I need to maintain a v...
