SImulation

Benoit St-Jean
Anyone used the SImulation package from SqueakMap (the
Smalltalk-80 simulation framework that was ported to
Squeak) ?

I'm running some simulations but the results I get
just make no sense!

I can define more ressources that the consumer will
ever need for the whole simulation and I keep having
consumers waiting!!!

Besides, some classes are missing from the original
framework (as published in the book).

Does anyone have a full version of the framework here?

Thank you!

Not really. Many years ago I played with the simulation
framework of Smalltalk-80 and these days I was
surprised to find some old sources on a very old computer
of mine.

This is interesting. Can you provide such an example?
Without further details I find it difficult to understand what
went wrong.

For Squeak, I have a package that is almost identical to
that old package, but it includes also the examples from the
Blue Book. I put that on the Swiki on page
http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/5844
(I needed some time to prepare loadable change sets
for the newer Squeak versions, all that stuff was in
2.7 image. The change sets on the Swiki wre created with
3.7 and should be useable for 3.7 and newer versions)



Hope that helps,
Boris

could you published that code on squeaksource.
I was planning to have a look since I wanted to use Squeak to show  
that we can use computer for simulating reality.

Boris, thank you for putting these on the swiki. The simulations
examples in the blue book were one of the first things that made
Smalltalk seem interesting to me, and it's nice to have this
material available on line.
