[DEV] Prio in register evaluation

About this model

This diagram represents a simulation of resource flow and register update mechanisms within a system. It consists of two parallel pathways starting from Source nodes that generate resources at a constant rate, which are then directed into two separate Pool nodes. These resources represent an abstract quantity, such as currency, energy, or any discrete unit of value in a system, identified with the color black for visual representation.

Registers within the diagram are designed to monitor and potentially influence the distribution of resources between the Source and Pool nodes based on predefined conditions and formulas. State Connections link these registers to Resource Connections, modifying the rate at which resources flow based on the state of the registers. These modifications are encapsulated by increments and conditions that dictate when these changes occur. Such a configuration showcases the adaptive mechanisms that could be employed in dynamic systems or games to adjust the flow of resources in response to changes within the system, providing a foundation for complex decision-making processes and economy simulations.

“[DEV] Prio in register evaluation” is a diagram in the Machinations Community by Catalin Ichim.

You can open the original diagram in the Machinations app, press Play to watch how resources move through it, and change its values to see how the system responds. Machinations is a visual tool for designing, simulating and balancing game economies and other systems, where resources flow through sources, pools, drains, converters and gates. In a diagram, a source creates resources, a pool stores them, a drain removes them, a converter changes one resource into another and a gate decides where they go next.
