Headless model and GUI

[music337]

Can GAMA achieve this function;
I have been interacting with GAMA through headless serve recently, but at the same time, I also need the visualization part of GAMA. However, it cannot be achieved in headless serve mode. Although headless legacy mode can save snapshots, it does not have real-time communication function. I would like to know if there is a way to achieve bidirectional communication between external program calls while also displaying GAMA's GUI interface and generating responsive changes

Hello,
Currently there are no ways to "stream" the user interface directly to a client, let alone to interact with the UI at client level.
The possible workarounds to this are:

• using snapshots, as you mentioned, which you can also get from headless server (see thesnapshot operator and the autosave facet of the displays) in this case you could download the files with the download command from gama-server or any other way that's available to you to access files one the computer where gama-server is running.
• sending to the client the informations you are interested in, for example the agents' location and some state. Then on the client side you can build a visualization that fits your need with those data.
  In both cases, you can either modify directly your model by adding reflexes and actions to take snapshots or send data, or you can do it on the client side by using the expression to execute any arbitrary code on the running simulation(so for example calling the snapshot operator).
