Simulations are an excellent tool for studying AI. However, the simulation technology in use by, and designed for, the AI community often fails to take advantage of much of the work in the larger simulation community to produce stable, repeatable, and efficient simulations. The "thinking time" of an agent is tracked and reflected in the results of the agents' actions. Simulations are an excellent tool for studying AI. They can allow the systematic modification of parameters of the environment, execute the large number of trials often required for machine learning, and facilitate the interaction of agents created by different research groups.
