Many drawing agents trying to do something viewable

Context
- UTBM educational project (for me: IA54 : Distributed AI, for Nabil and Laetitia: IA54 + GL53: Interfaces).
- In group of 3 (I am the main author ; Nabil Buiauzan and Laetitia Facchin also contributed ideas and code)
- Tutors : Jean-Michel Contet & Franck Gechter
Challenges
We had to provide a web app capable of drawing something 'artistic' (abstract) while using reactive multi agents.
This means describing out what 'drawing' really means in computing science terms –a quest we have only partially achieved.
It also implies generating a sufficiently large set of drawings (in this, we failed).
Implementation
Project characteristics
Java web start was chosen, although we learnt later on that Franck Gechter would have appreciated 'something lighter', such as cpp.
We (Feth) chose to reinvent the (generic) wheel over reusing existing multi agent platforms, such as madkit (used in class) or tinymas (written by our professor Stéphane Galland).
Test it
Still sits on my personnal page .
Something better http://www.complexification.net/gallery/ : Just go there, and stare.
