+In lab 2 we will finish [[public:t-622-arti-09-1:lab_1_materials|lab 1]] and write a new kind of agent program that maintains a state.
   - Start by getting the file [[http://gist.github.com/52802|agents2.lisp]]. This is largely the same file as we had for the last lab session, except some fixes to accommodate stateful agents, and code to run experiments.

 </code>This will return the number of experiments performed, and the average performance value.
-  - Try different agents and different performance measures. Does the stateful agent behave better than the others with any particular performance measure? You can add print commands to the experiment functions to get more information about the agents behaviour if you like.

   - **BONUS** If you finish the stateful agent and running the experiments, try creating an agent that moves through the environment in some orderly pattern. Make sure it visits all squares and cleans the dirty ones. Is the orderly agent more efficient than the random one?
