Hi.

How you respond to sense and hear messages is up to you. There are no
rules about how you decide what order you process sense/hear messages
apart from the 4 messages per timestep rule.

If you want to use hear messages in the same cycle as the sense message
then you will probably need to have a multi-threaded implementation.

Please remember that librescue provides a *minimal* implementation to
allow development of agents in the most flexible way. It therefore makes
no assumptions about what you are going to do with sense/hear messages.

I hope that helps.

Cheers,
Cameron.
