A new web application based on the puzzle example from the Jadex distribution allows playing the puzzle game online and testing your problem solving skills.
For every game, an agent sits in the background ready to give hints, if you cannot solve the puzzle yourself.

The puzzle application is developed as a small demo for the web-bridge add-on and is available at: http://vsis-www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/projects/jadex/webbridge_puzzle.php (0 comments)

This update release fixes minor issues in the control center, such as model tree refresh. (0 comments)
