I'm looking to create a team-sport like game where agents (the players) change the values of a, b, c variables tied to individual static (as in not moving) nodes located at x, y vertices that are organized in a grid like fashion across the playing field.

Some of the a, b, c (and many more) variables are to be changed by the distance of agents within a certain radius of them, and others are to be changed by agents that are moving across the playing field while broadcasting in a predefined direction a method that will change their values (the value of the variable).

The agents need to also be able to see the values of the a, b, c variables that are close to them or up to a distance ahead of them.

The a, b, c variables will act as steering forces, some pulling, some pushing, and some triggering an execution of a certain act by the agent or game.

I'm using C#.
