  • Abstract
    The initialization at the beginning of all type of simulation is recurring. In the field of multi-agents, spatial environments on a micro or macro scale, or more abstract context, such as mapping out energy sources for example, need often to be modelled. The initialization of these environments wherein evolve agents is generally tedious and time-consuming depending on the fineness of the mesh of the cutting in case of a 2D spatial representation. In this paper, we present MASC (Map Sectors Creator), a user-oriented tool that permits easy initialization through the creation of a mesh directly usable in multi-agents systems simulations platforms. The automation of cutting out maps followed by the generation of directly usable code snippets optimize the working time on initialization and allow to focus on the simulations results and observations.
