Having sorted out the internal reference issues in JavaScript I could go ahead and post the next update to the model framework. In this iteration the entities are completely passive, which means that the newly created entities are generated using … Continue reading →

The solution is that there is no solution. The simplest thing to do is to ensure that the values are updated by hand whenever they need to be drawn. I’ve included a method called assignDisplayValues to the arrivals component. It … Continue reading →

While making the changes I described yesterday I ran into a problem where a long chain of (what I expected to be) references didn’t return the results I was expecting. Somewhere in the chain of references something appears to be … Continue reading →

I found it necessary to go back and automate the definition and display of blocks of values associated with different elements in a simulation. I’ve based it on a global canvas and will rewrite everything else accordingly. This will make … Continue reading →

After defining things more clearly yesterday I offer this version of an arrivals component. Here’s how it’s supposed to work. The component is created using an external call. The graphic properties are initialized using a separate call to this.basicDefine. Most … Continue reading →

Today I added an animation to the simulation. There are a lot of things that could be said about this, and I’ll go into just a few of them today. At this point I wanted to get some kind of … Continue reading →

Today I wanted to describe a few additional methods for generating arrivals over a given time span. Last week we divided the arrivals evenly over the span without placing any at the beginning or end. The next possibility is generating … Continue reading →

Today I modified the entry component so it creates new entities according to a supplied schedule. This can be made as complex as we’d like but let’s keep it simple for now: the input parameters are the duration of each … Continue reading →

Today I wanted to streamline the code in the activate method for the entities that apply the advance command. I started by breaking the code in the series of if statements out into separate methods, which at least makes things … Continue reading →
