In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
Creating knowledge sources
Creating a blackboard architecture
Using a blackboard for decision evaluators and actions
So far, our soldier has been using basic inputs from many different sources and in many different places. For instance, having conditional evaluators calculate the best enemy to attack is a very poor place to put decision selection, which mutates our soldier's knowledge of the sandbox. Going forward, knowledge can be consolidated in a central data structure that is available to all of our agent systems.
