All Implemented Interfaces:

Person.Personality

Enclosing class:

Traveller

public static class Traveller.VagrantTraveller

extends Traveller

The vagrant travller is simply a random mover. It hangs out on a floor for a random amount of time, then hops on an elevator waiting for another random amount of time until it finally decides to get off the next time the door opens.

This traveller is completely stateless and so it is offered up as a singleton VAGRANT. You can get it manually, or call the personality factory method.

motivate

public int motivate(Person p)

Description copied from interface: Person.Personality

Motivate this person. This method is repeatedly called so long as this is the given Person's dominant personality. In essence, it should decide upon a goal, execute that goal, then return so that it may be called again to repeat the goal selection and execution process. A personality may take as little or as long as it wants to complete its objective, it may even decide to store state and return knowing it will (most likely) be called again. The number that is returned is the number of milliseconds that the Personality is willing to wait for another chance to execute. While there is no guarantee that motivate() will be called again within that time, it allows the use of a thread pool to move persons around in the game. If the quantity returned is negative, that is the maximum amount of time that the Personality would like to have elapse before the next call. If it is a postive number, that is the minimum amount of time and the Personality is willing to allow more time to elapse if necessary.
