What are the components of a grid?
In here components of a grid should be defined without looking at a possible implementation.
- Agent
- A entity (can be a real person or a bot) interacting with other agents eventually with a region.
- Region
- Some space. It can have any form. It can be grouped together with other regions.
- Asset
- some entity which can be transferred from agent to agent or from agent to region or from region to agent. It can be something like an object, texture, sound, link, landmark
- It's basically just a piece of data with a type
- Avatar
- The representation of an agent in a region (or somewhere else, like on the web)
- Viewer
- A program which controls an agent (eventually inside a region)
