writeBehaviorState

public void writeBehaviorState(MemoryObject bs)

This method adds a new behavior state to behaviorsToBg list in case the isn't already a similar one. If it finds a memory object with the same type and information, it doesn't write it. If it finds a similar MO (same type and same name) but with different information, it simply updates the information NOTE: If the passed bs is not used, it should be removed from raw memory to save memory (would this be a problem?)

Parameters:

bs - memory object to be added to behaviorsToBg

writeBGInstruction

public void writeBGInstruction(MemoryObject bgI)

This method adds a new behavior state to bgToBehaviors list in case the isn't already a similar one. If it finds a memory object with the same type and information, it doesn't write it. If it finds a similar MO (same type and same name) but with different information, it simply updates the information

Parameters:

bgI - memory object to be added to bgToBehaviors

readBehaviorStates

public java.util.List<MemoryObject> readBehaviorStates()

Returns:

the list of behavior states stored in this object

readBGInstructions

public java.util.List<MemoryObject> readBGInstructions()

Returns:

the list of instructions from BG stored in this object

showBgBContent

public void showBgBContent()
