Operation Reaction System for Player Centered Models. Revision

摘要

The emphasis in a player centered model is on the interactions of the various elements, the total effect of which determine the outcome. Player centered models reduce many modeling problems, since only component processes must be modeled, although this is achieved at the cost of increased software complexity. One of the most difficult component processes to model is the decision making of maneuver entities and command control elements. The Operation Reaction System (ORS) described here is one way of representing these processes which is fast running, relatively simple, and very flexible. It has been used in conjunction with the BDM Corporation's METRIC family of models, which use a hexagonal grid to describe position and movement.
