Re: Integrating JADE and Robocode to develop a Multi-Robot System using TeamRobot class

Hi Nathalia

You could probably use composition together with inheritance. Just include
the JADE agent (could be your inherited class) as member of Robot class.
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49002/prefer-composition-over-inheritance

Also note that you could be able to implement ITeamRobot interface instead
of inheriting from TeamRobot base class with same result from robocode
viewpoint. It would probably be more work, thought.
http://robocode.sourceforge.net/docs/robocode/robocode/robotinterfaces/ITeamRobot.html
http://robocode.sourceforge.net/docs/robocode/robocode/robotinterfaces/IAdvancedRobot.html


Regarding the communication, it seems to me that FIPA uses it's own
communication network layer. That is against rules in robocode and it is
prevented by security system. The security system could be turned off by
commandline switch.
But i would say that the whole idea of this framework and communication is
probably overkill for such simple environment like robocode.

Such framework is probably too complex for you at the very start of your
journey.
I suggest that you give up the framework and try to inspire yourself with
other robot team implementations available on the internet and robowiki.
http://robocode.sourceforge.net/docs/robocode/robocode/robotinterfaces/ITeamEvents.html
http://robocode.sourceforge.net/docs/robocode/robocode/TeamRobot.html#sendMessage(java.lang.String,
java.io.Serializable)


As you become stronger with robocode and programming you could return to
the JADE framework and replace your own simle communication layer with it
later.
