The Environment Interface Standard (EIS) is a Java-based interface standard for connecting agents to controllable entities in an environment such as a game. The interface provides support for managing the connection (e.g., for pausing and terminating an environment) and for interaction between agents and entities that are available in an environment (e.g., bots in a game). An agent that is connected to a controllable entity receives percepts from and can send actions to that entity. Percepts inform the agent about the state of the entity and its environment. Actions tell the entity which actions to perform in its environment. Several example implementations of environments are available @github.com/eishub. A default implementation of the EIS interface is also provided.
when extracting an interface from the abstract class EnvironmentInterfaceStandard
we would like it being Java 1.4 compatible (no generics and variable number of parameters, ie. no ... in signature).
That would allow a greater number of implementers (e.g. mobile).
