Each ship is a separate process using basic Erlang for control and communication while the logic is written in Lua.

Use run.sh to start the system. You need to check the path where it is to find Luerl and the esdl2 systems.

The various ship types:

default_ship - These are the default ship type for all the initially created ships. They just run a straight line and bounce off the edge of the universe.

run_ship - These are green and just move towards the edge of the universe and run along the edge of the universe.

fly_ship - These are blue and behave like flies. They fly to edge of the universe, sit there for a while then fly off.

flock_ship - These ships tend to fly in flocks.

timid_ship - These start of white and when they see a ship in the same sector they turn yellow and go backwards.

attack_ship - These ships are orange zap and kill ships which they get close to.

An example run:

(sim@renat)1> start(300,300,1000).
{ok,<0.95.0>}
(sim@renat)2> start_run(75).
ok
(sim@renat)3> set_ships("run_ship", 1, 300).
ok
(sim@renat)4> set_ships("fly_ship", 301, 500).
ok
(sim@renat)5> set_ships("attack_ship", 951, 1000).
ok
(sim@renat)6> stop_run().
ok
