				wraitiiUnsubmitted Not Done Inline Actions I've added this back because it makes it possible to put the mongoose callback in the class, thus cleaning up the private/public interface split.

				* Implements an interface providing fundamental capabilities required for reinforcement

				* This consists of enabling an external script to configure the scenario (via Reset) and

				* also supports querying unit templates to provide information about max health and other
				* potentially relevant game state information.
				*
				* See source/tools/rlclient/ for the external client code.
				*
				* The HTTP server is threaded.
				* Flow of data (with the interface active):
				* 0. The game/main thread calls TryApplyMessage()
				* - If no messages are pending, GOTO 0 (the simulation is not advanced).
				* 1. TryApplyMessage locks m_MsgLock, pulls the message, processes it, advances the simulation, and sets m_GameState.
				* 2. TryApplyMessage notifies the RL thread that it can carry on and unlocks m_MsgLock. The main thread carries on frame rendering and goes back to 0.
				* 3. The RL thread locks m_MsgLock, reads m_GameState, unlocks m_MsgLock, and sends the gamestate as HTTP Response to the RL client.
				* 4. The client processes the response and ultimately sends a new HTTP message to the RL Interface.
				* 5. The RL thread locks m_MsgLock, pushes the message, and starts waiting on the game/main thread to notify it (step 2).
				* - GOTO 0.

				wraitiiUnsubmitted Not Done Inline Actions Your call, but this might be better named `ProcessPendingMessage` or `PollMessage` perhaps( to parallel the SDL convention of `SDL_PollEvent`). wraitii: Your call, but this might be better named `ProcessPendingMessage` or `PollMessage` perhaps( to…
				irishninjaAuthorUnsubmitted Not Done Inline Actions I was calling it `TryApplyMessage` to (loosely) follow the convention from buffered channels in boost (ie, `try_pop`) and make it obvious that it was non-blocking. Technically, it should probably return a `bool` to follow the convention more closely but the return value isn't needed anywhere so it seemed unnecessary. irishninja: I was calling it `TryApplyMessage` to (loosely) follow the convention from buffered channels in…
				wraitiiUnsubmitted Not Done Inline Actions I see. I definitely didn't see that parallel :P IMO it's not really that fitting as a parallel, and it being obviously non-blocking isn't such a necessity (it could very well be blocking and still be entirely functional, from a "no human input" POV). Though as I said, I'm not sure my suggestions are much better. wraitii: I see. I definitely didn't see that parallel :P IMO it's not really that fitting as a…
				irishninjaAuthorUnsubmitted Done Inline Actions So, the reason why blocking vs non-blocking mattered was when running w/ a GUI since you may want to pan around and view things while the AI is playing the game. I believe it is a bit choppy and problematic if it was blocking when running with a GUI. Not to make any argument for the naming - I am happy to defer to whatever the consensus is - but I figured I would mention the significance here :) (Technically, I think I ran into this awhile back when I actually was using boost channels for communicating between the threads. :) ) irishninja: So, the reason why blocking vs non-blocking mattered was when running w/ a GUI since you may…
				wraitiiUnsubmitted Not Done Inline Actions Yes I understand that actually, my comment was more that, while it is useful, it isn't required for this to "work". Being blocking would degrade the experience, but isn't a complete deal-breaker. Ergo I'd say it's not a fundamental property of this function that it is non-blocking, just a nice bonus. Anyways :p wraitii: Yes I understand that actually, my comment was more that, while it is useful, it isn't required…
