A Simple Description of Agents

• There are lots of ways to define agents, but for this class I think we can use something like:
• a relatively sophisticated entity in a game.
• The user is certainly an agent, but that doesn't really concern us.
• What we care about is the other entities.
• Adversaries and indeed assistants in a game need to be coded.
• A good way to do this makes use of the concept of agents.
• The key here is autonomony. The agent acts on its own.
• The miner, and indeed Elsa, from lab2 were agents.
