Make TimelineProcess a Step #212

Closed thalassemia closed 2 years ago

thalassemia commented 2 years ago

This corrects TimelineProcess to apply updates at the time(s) indicated in the timeline. Before, specifying an update at t=0, for example, only results in an updated simulation state after a timestep has elapsed.

That's true. Leaving this as is also makes perfect sense if I just think of the timeline as a set of times when actions will occur. In that case, the state should only reflect the results of these actions at the beginning of the following time steps.

We'll just have to keep this delay in mind when using TimelineProcesses.
