This page is for the developers to discuss, debate, and collaborate on the in-process dynamic task system. To start I'll outline that various sections that I think we will need to interact with and then list the expected interactions there of.

Contents 1 Incarnos 2 Autonomon 3 Task Daemon 4 Task Descriptor 5 Task Type

Incarnos

• ability to store gathered tasks
• ability to show and retrieve information on stored tasks via show?

Autonomon

• ability to know it's a task granter
• ability to poll for available, and suitable, tasks
• ability to respond to queries for available tasks
• ability to describe available tasks to incarnoi
• ability to evaluate progress of an incarnoi's relevant task
• ability to complete and reward an incarnoi who completes a relevant task

Task Daemon

• broker for task type definitions
• stores all tasks? ever? (database interaction?) at minimum, provides ability to specify an incarnos/autonomon/unique-tag and find out what active tasks in the MUD it is involved with and what roles it has in them

Task Descriptor

• Fields:
  • Task_Type_Code
  • Task_Name
  • Task_Description
  • Task_Status
  • Task_Roles
  • Task_Objectives
  • Task_Info
  • Task_Flags
  • Task_Unique_Tag
• Flags:
  • Task_Flag_Active
• Functions:
  • Placeholder

Task Type

• Courier
  • Originator gives object/information to Actor who must deliver it to Objective.
• Knowledge
  • Originator dictates X pieces of Objective knowledge Actor must become familiar with/memorize.
• Exploration
  • Originator dictates location Objective that Actor must become familiar with/memorize.
• Elimination
  • Originator dictates Objective target that Actor must kill.
• Collection
  • Originator dictates X Objective items that Actor must gather.
• Escort
