A Simple Discrete-Event Simulation: Part 70
Today I did some reading relevant to the To Do list item to learn how to use the prototype object pattern as opposed to the purely closure-based method I’ve been using. Suffice it to say there’s a lot of information … Continue reading
A Simple Discrete-Event Simulation: Part 69
Today I ticked one item off the To Do list and generally streamlined other parts of the code. The list item involved modifying the Queue component so it would smoothly handle situations when the traversal time is set to zero. … Continue reading
A Simple Discrete-Event Simulation: Part 68
Last time I got the system to handle multiple types of entities and today I updated the reporting capability so it generates results for the system as a whole and for each type of entity that we might want to … Continue reading
A Simple Discrete-Event Simulation: Part 67
Today I began implementing the capability of handling different types of entities. The two main aspects of this problem are how to assign properties to an entity and how those properties affect how an entity is processed by different parts … Continue reading
A Simple Discrete-Event Simulation: Part 66
A direct link to the standalone page is here. I followed up today and set up the initialization of the 3D graphics so it happens only after all of the required resources were loaded. The process is kicked off by … Continue reading
A Simple Discrete-Event Simulation: Part 65
My charter for today was to figure out why the discrete-event simulation framework was not running in Opera. I had experimented with this on Thursday and Saturday of last week and traced the problem to a call in the Three.js … Continue reading
Reproducing A Clever Animation Product, Part 29
It took a bit of experimentation but the ultimate fix turned out to be quite simple. If the browser’s JavaScript interpreter strips off the second parameter then we can just duplicate the first one. It might not give exactly the … Continue reading
Reproducing A Clever Animation Product, Part 28
In keeping with this week’s theme of researching backward compatibility of the various projects I’ve worked on over the past year I decided to figure out why parts of my fast animation framework weren’t updating as expected. The short answer … Continue reading
A Simple Discrete-Event Simulation: Part 64
As I’ve been developing and experimenting with JavaScript over the last year-plus I’ve been more interested in showing my experience in simulation, graphics, and analysis than I have been with cross-browser- or backward-compatibility. If it ran on my phone (iPhone … Continue reading
A Simple Discrete-Event Simulation: Part 63
Today I finally implemented the first part of the reporting capability. So far the system keeps track of the total time spent trying to get through the major process areas and through the entire system as well. The entities are … Continue reading
