Concurrent Actors

To end users, Concurrent Actors is a simple simulation. It presents a bounded universe in which you control an armed spaceship, playfully blasting asteroids. Underlying the game behavior is a versatile graphic simulation architecture.

Much of the program's functionality derives from CommonPoint frameworks and class libraries including:

• Kernel services (Tasks and Threads, Synchronization services)
• Notation framework
• Presentation framework
• Time services
• 2-D Graphics

• Create, destroy, and synchronize threads
• Keep time in a multithread environment
• Draw to an offscreen buffer
• Save state information

What can users do?	Commands, keys, and controls
Create a Concurrent Actors document from stationery, and run it.	RunDocument -c "TGUIModelViewStationeryFor<TSimulationModel,TSimulationView>" ConcurrentActorsLib [-o <StorageFilename>]
Run an existing document.	RunDocument <StorageFilename>
Move the ship forward.	k
Rotate the ship counterclockwise/clockwise.	j/l
Fire a bullet.	Space bar
End the program, storing the document's state.	Close box
