Well, it's been a while. I was distracted from this blog by NANOWRIMO, which was a success and a failure to me. I'm not sure what to do about that now. I think that it's a matter of whether or not I should be writing stuff that I enjoy -- like the stories I tell myself, or writing stories that I think would mean something to someone else. NANOWRIMO was a compromise, I think. It was a story that I loved, that evolved into something I thought would mean something to someone else.
But back to my thesis. I've been doing middling on it -- so now I'm going to go back to what I was doing before. Yesterday, I got the vertex stuff working, but I really need to attach my OBJ vertices and polygon information not to a particular agent, but to a tribe, because otherwise I am going to have way to many copies of that data in memory. That seems reasonable, and I did anticipate this, by giving tribes and spaces a property list. Hmmm.
