BABES version 2

Steve Thornton — Thu, 04 Jul 2013 16:15:03 -0000

There are quite a few minor bugs and inconsistences in version 1. This seems like a good point to do a fairly major rewrite and refactor of the code. The GUI will need to be modified (slightly) to fit in with this scheme (see ticket).

Formalise GUI-to-simulation communication protocol

Mike Playle — Sun, 30 Jun 2013 08:44:37 -0000

Communication between the GUI and the simulation involves a FIFO in each direction and will probably grow to involve some shared memory too.

Initially it supports 3 use cases:

Simulation started from command line connects to existing GUI
Simulation started from command line starts new GUI and connects to it
Simulation started from within GUI

At present this is done in a fairly ad hoc way. It would be a good idea to think it through and make sure it can do everything we want robustly without any risk of deadlocks or other problems.
