Autonomous agents are 3D entities in a virtual environment that perceive, decide, and act on their own without continuous direct human control or purely scripted sequences. They combine sensors (virtual perception of the world and other objects), an internal state or goals, and a decision-making mechanism (such as behavior trees, state machines, or learning algorithms) to determine their actions. In 3D contexts they are used for game NPCs, robotics and drone simulations, and crowd or emergent-behavior modeling. Key concerns include pathfinding, collision and local avoidance, reactive vs. planned behaviors, and sometimes adaptive learning for more complex tasks.
HTTP stands for HyperText Transfer Protocol and is the protocol used for communication between a web browser and a web server. It defines how requests and responses are structured and exchanged. Without HTTP, the modern web would not exist.
PUT is an HTTP method used to update or completely replace an existing resource on the server. When sending a PUT request, you provide the complete new version of the resource, and the server replaces the old version entirely. PUT is idempotent, so sending the same PUT request multiple times has the same effect as sending it once, making it safe to retry failed requests.
GET is an HTTP method used to retrieve data from a server without causing any side effects. GET requests should only fetch data and never modify server state. They are idempotent, meaning the same request always produces the same result, and cacheable by browsers. Data is sent via URL query parameters, making GET requests bookmarkable and visible in browser history.
POST is an HTTP method used to send data to a server to create a new resource or trigger a process. Unlike GET, POST includes data in the request body rather than the URL, allowing for larger and more complex data including files. POST is not idempotent, meaning submitting the same request twice typically creates two separate resources or triggers an action twice.
A hi-fi (high-fidelity) wireframe or mockup is a detailed, polished representation of a user interface that closely resembles the final product. It includes actual or realistic content, real images, exact brand colors, proper typography, spacing, and often interactive elements. Hi-fi designs are created after concepts are validated and serve stakeholder presentations, user testing, and developer handoff.
