World Map

The World Map is the central component of the simulation. The class itself consists of a grid and a set of JSON settings. The grid consists of a dictionary of type <Location, Cell>.

Cells

A cell has the following components:

• location - (x, y) pairs that can be added together, serialized, compared, etc.
• avatars - see Game Objects for more details
• pickup - see Game Objects for more details
• cell content - the cell content can either be a score cell, an obstacle or a plain floor cell
• fog of war
• actions - an array where the intended actions of different avatars are registered and, afterwards, applied
