Re: [Swarm-Support] Multiple Agents in One Cell

[Paul Johnson]

Here's an example of what has always made me angry in the contrib ftp. 
There are packages that have no readme or lsm file. In Multi2d, I can't 
even find the author's name. I don't think I ever read it. I know for 
sure I worked a lot on MoGrid2d, Sven's enhancement.  (I'm pretty sure I 
did not write Multi2d, anyway,since the earliest version of my class for 
that was called "WrappedListGrid2d 
(http://lark.cc.ku.edu/~pauljohn/Swarm/MySwarmCode/WrappedListGrid2d-990817.tar.gz)
and after that I got pretty fanatical about ironing out all the kinks 
with MultiGrid2d.

So its kindof a mystery to me that somebody would even use Multi2d as a 
starting point.

But it is more a mystery why one would try to re-invent the multi 
occupancy grid after I worked out all the kinks and documented the 
details in the MultiGrid2d and MultiGridCell classes. It is a general 
purpose, relatively well documented thing that I've used in several 
projects.
