Object Oriented Programming

• Another way to approach this is from a software engineering perspective.
• You have to code an entity in a game.
• An obvious way to encapsulate your code is by agent.
• You want to have a base class that can be specialised.
• Now you can develop different types of agents, by subclassing the base class.
• There may be some extra code for communication, but OOP provides an easy way forward.
• Moreover, the alignment between class and agent says a lot about it being a smart way to do it.
• Note that the user can also just be a special agent.
