New data sources for spatial analysis open many new opportunities to create interesting behaviors that allow agents to evaluate more than just a fixed perspective of the world. So far, we've created just a few types of influence maps and haven't even begun to access their data that affects the decision making. Even though changing our current agent's logic is left to you, going forward, the examples shown so far already allow for many interesting scenarios to play out.

Even though we've only touched on each of the topics lightly, the sandbox is now yours to mold and expand, as you see fit.
