Setup files

ARCADE uses a setup file that describes the setup of the simulations, agents, and environment.

The basic structure of the file is:

<set> <!-- Simulation set -->
    <series> <!-- Simulation series -->
        <patch> <!-- Patch implementation setup --> </patch>
        <potts> <!-- Potts implementation setup --> </potts>
        <populations> <!-- Setup for agent populations --> </populations>
        <actions> <!-- Setup for agent actions --> </actions>
        <layers> <!-- Setup for environment layers --> </layers>
        <components> <!-- Setup for environment components --> </components>
    </series>
</set>

Note that the <patch> and <potts> tags are only used when running the corresponding implementation. Not all tags may be valid or available in all implementations; see specific docs for each tag for details.
