Simulator
A piece of software that simulates the behaviour of the hardware device
Has a user interface similar to that of the device
Is fully tested to behave as the hardware device
Presents an API that the rest of the system will use to communicate with it
Simulator API
The most critical part of the Simulator is the API it will present to the Player and Authoring app
This API must be able to be duplicated by the hardware device (its firmware will include a firmware wrapper)
API must be described in detail with Javadoc
The best simulator API from all submissions will be chosen going forward
