w2mind.computing.dcu.ie -> challenge -> integrating an online mind

It is possible to use an existing online mind into your own mind, by sending messages to it. This amounts to wrapping the mind and and choosing when to query it and when to select a different action. To do this you should start a run in the existing mind, and query it for actions.

You can use the following classes to assist you in developing such a mind:

• Proxy.java: This class can be used to send a single request and get a response. Note that the code for this has changed so that it does not automatically start itself as a thread. The code is here, if you want to extract part of it to see how to use it.

• The SOML package: The classes in this package can be used to create and parse messages.

These classes are all wrapped with the Tyrrell Mind Development Kit.
