-Algorithm is a step-by-step procedure for calculations. An algorithm is an effective method expressed as a finite list[1] of well-defined instructions[2] for calculating a function.[3] Starting from an initial state and initial input (perhaps empty),[4] the instructions describe a computation that, when executed, proceeds through a finite[5] number of well-defined successive states, eventually producing “output[6] and terminating at a final ending state. The transition from one state to the next is not necessarily deterministic; some algorithms, known as randomized algorithms, incorporate random input.[7]

-Linear programming (LP, or linear optimization) is a method to achieve the best outcome (such as maximum profit or lowest cost) in a mathematical model whose requirements are represented by linear relationships. More formally, linear programming is a technique for the optimization of a linear objective function, subject to linear equality and linear inequality constraints. Its feasible region is a convex polyhedron, which is a set defined as the intersection of finitely many half spaces, each of which is defined by a linear inequality. Its objective function is a real-valued affine function defined on this polyhedron. A linear programming algorithm finds a point in the polyhedron where this function has the smallest (or largest) value if such a point exists.

-=== Why use this ... for games?
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-This package provides algorithms common in game developments. More to come but first let's take a look of those problems it trying to solve to distingish the objective and goals of this package compare to collection and others.
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-==== It's not another Collection (DataStructure) or Pattern package!
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-Sort, concurrent, packing, data compressing is also partial relate to its processing method (that's algorithm) but first, they are provided as the core of the programming language, second we want to care more about the high level of abstraction, not the details. It use “interface of structure for its explaination and progress.
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-Also, pattern is the term refered to a popular method in software developmenet. Pattern is also in higher level of abstraction compare to algorimths. So consider pattern is the law and algorimth is the effective way of making the job work effectively obey that law.
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-Algorithms involve logic, a lot of them. But it higher level than logic. And of course algorithms need math (some physics, philosophy also) to be smart!
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-Algorithms are used heavily in AI. But this package only provide pure algorithms which can be used also outside of AI topics.
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-That's said:
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-* Datastructure, Pattern, Logic and AI are supported elsewhere!
|
|
|
|
-** Algorimths depends in Pattern, Logic, Interface of Structure.
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-==== Each algorithm has a goal (or several) to accomplish!
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-Developer want to use the algorithm they know to solve one or more goals (problem, requirement, aspect, situation, … what ever you call it). The algorithms provided here are the bricks for you to use and reuse, for different purposes. And you may notice the package also be arranged into purposes instead of implementations - techniques or another structure. That's explained the reason!

|
|
|
|
-==== For games?
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-Yes, not all of the problems we know are solved by this library…??? You've already know. It not even sotiphicated like the alternatives below but they are extremely useful for average programmers; especially game programmer, who, usually focus in the fun side (Am I right? :) )
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-The library try to provide useful algorithms (best practices and wisdoms) enough for a wide range of usecases and also used in Atom framework its self. The algorimths them self may use another algorimths to solve sub-problems. Of course, it also come with examples and a lot of applications & suggestion, which its the algorithms use for you to quickly and smartly solve your own problem thank to it.

-== Concepts
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-First of all this package has some degree similar to JScience and Opt4J… I can't denied I had used them intensively to know what is good and what is not. About the similarity between Ptolemy and Atom, even the two take different approaches and implementation, you can read from the Atom framework introduction.
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-Algorimths in computing, programming and game programming has grown, based in knowledges and wisdoms from a lot of other sciences: math, physics, philosophy, chemistry, biology… etc. Here and there the concepts are familiar with developer because they've taught in schools. Some may require extra knowledge from mathematics and physics per se… But you know google can have any way.
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-Here is the part where the concepts which used in algorithms in Atom framework which you can reference and research futher. Almost every part you can also google about them or try to find it in jscience +++<abbr title="Application Programming Interface">API</abbr>+++ javadoc:

-You may notice that if there is a “pattern or “algorimth to optimize a progress. Can we use them repeatly until processing time toward minimum or even zero????
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-This sounds totally untrue and also ridiculous but an interesting captious way of thinking.

-Here i used the term the *saturation of algorithms* to describle the problem from overview.
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-Let say the algorithm A needs B to compute, and than B needs A to compute. The Recursion will be forever in the turing machine such as our computer, until we out of memory or can even cause a crash in some programming language and computer-small scale ones (pc,console…). In real-life, it's hardly useful for game developing.
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-For example:
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-In Allocation package, we need to compute the dependencies between resources, si call Dependency package. In computing dependency, we need resource so we call allocation package… This loop is actually fine but its will run forever if there is no saturation point or the end point of the recursion calls.
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-So in AtomAA, there is a detection of Recursion and cyclic dependency that can break-out early from the infinite loops. Also if Dependency package call, it tell Allocation not to call it again in the amount of time. Allocation then will chose another path of computing by just allocate directly. This not gaurantee to prevent the problem but ease out the percentage you fall into a dead trap. It work pretty much like concurrent contention resolving in by synchronization in Java.
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-This mean the context of computing is affect the algorithms, lead the algorithm to context-depend. So is it conflict with the definition of algorithm and wrong? Well, in real-life, some algorithms actually work upon a data structure and context, if not to say all of them. The abstraction and agnostic of algorithm is limit but higher than data structure, it just depend in the “context of computing but work in various data structure, even a new one. It's also better than normal datastructure in this “loop situation. You may experience the situation that datastructure implementation may cause infinite loop with them self or others. At least algorithms try to prevent that…

|
|
-[WARNING]
|
|
|
|
-====
|
|
|
|
-*Note:* Actually when the situation happen, there is a way to stop the whole!… but not a clean way to set a flag, clear the flag and continue again, because the next time, the progress can not distingish between the normal processing and the invalid one. At least not a simple way without Tranactional Memeory Model.
|
|
|
|
-====
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-In development mode, with AtomAA , the programmer will be notified and the progress will stop. A monitoring framework can also help. The determistic of the algorithms over arbitrary data (in real-life) is also quite a challange problem. That's also a caveat in AtomAA its self.

-The relationship between things cause complex problems, this package try to solve a subset of problems which is useful in programming and gamedev in general. Relation is very abstract, but some of “relationship problems are well-defined like:
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-* the cause of declaration of relationships
|
|
|
|
-* the dependency between two subject
|
|
|
|
-* the direction, order of relation or force
|
|
|
|
-* the configuration need to the relationship
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-*Dependency*: If one object “declare relationship to another, aka one-direction link:
|
|
|
|
-*Coupling*: If two objects “declare relationship between each other, aka bi-direction link:
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-* [Real-life] Imagine the marriage law when two get married :)
|
|
|
|
-* [Computing] The dependency between packages, modules, operations, tasks.

|
|
|
|
-* [Real-life] Imagine a devote, and the fate of the property and children
|
|
|
|
-* [Computing] Reconfiguration cause computation in the said domain and cause a chains of reaction in the network. The reconfiguration can cause “bigger affection than the first time config, but how to decrease the cost?

|
-=== Travel:
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-Study the step by step “move between unit of things. This is a fundamental and essential spirit of algorithms. <<jme3/advanced/atom_framework/atomcore/algorithms#algorimths_for_games,Read back algorithm definition above>>

|
- Search: Study the exploring in space.
|
|
|
|
- Trace: Study the affection (footprint, operations, cost.. ) the algorithms left each step
|
|
|
|
- Track: Study the route (path, track, flow,...) the algorithms pass.

-Travel depend in relate. It Explores bunch of things that relate to each others in a space (Data space, time space). The process known as Search. Doing Search, it left Traces. Flowing trace in each step, one can see a Track or a Flow of the progress.
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-This package support: datastructure-agnostic search, traces and tracks (beside of those already supported in Java, Guava…)

-=== Generation:
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
- good practises in making new things
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-....
|
|
|
|
- Template is the resource of generation
|
|
|
|
- Production is the progress of creating new things
|
|

-=== Limitations and futures
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-Only simple forms. But External libs can be hooked!
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-Usage of interface from sg.atom.world.physics package, should be all in sg.atom.utils only!
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-Lack of unit tests. But in the future
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-Lack of better documentation and education. Here you are, improve it your self.
