Mike Lees at Nottingham university sent me a couple of mpeg movies
showing his Boids and Tileworld demonstrations based on SimAgent.
He also sent me some code and instructions for producing similar
movies and I used them to produce a movie of the simple sheepdog
demo (interrupted after putting two sheep in the pen, to keep
the images small).
All the movies are now avaiable here:
http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/poplog/figs/simagent/
There are two versions of the sheepdog demo
sim-sheep-340.mpg
sim-sheep-680.mpg
The first one has 340 frames, and is suitable for displaying on
PCs up to about 1ghz. The second shows each frame twice (Mike's
idea for slowing things down) and is suitable for faster machines.
You may need to install mpeg_play or some other video player if you
don't have anything suitable. I've tested them with mpeg_play, xine and
mplayer.
Later I'll install the information on how to make the movies as part
of the newkit.tar.gz package.
