Great. I really thought this type of thing was needed. Learning Obj-C
(swarm style) was not the easiest thing, especially for sods like me
whom have done mostly prolog programming over the last year. ;)

Roger! Have you any code? This seems like it might be similar to what
I'm working on. I'd love to see how an expert such as yourself implemented
this. BTW, what i am working on is a network simulation, with different
network nodes that are invisible to the other nodes (the end goal is
to simulate a network with a bunch of software agents running around
doing various tasks).
