Connecting to an RTI

The first task is to connect to a Runtime Infrastructure (RTI). This requires the creation of an RTI Ambassador and the actual connection.

Pseudocode

1. Create an RTI Ambassador

2. Create a Federate Ambassador

3. Use the RTI Ambassador to 'connect' to the RTI

4. Your code

5. Use the RTI Ambassador to 'disconnect' from the RTI

C++

#include "RTI/RTI1516.h"

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
    // 1. Create an RTI Ambassador
    auto rtiAmbassadorFactory = new rti1516e::RTIambassadorFactory();
    auto rtiAmbassador = rtiAmbassdorFactory.createRTIambassador();

    // 2. Create a Federate Ambassador
    rti1516e::NullFederateAmbassador fedAmbassador;

    // 3. Connect to an RTI
    rtiAmbassador->connect(
        fedAmbassador,
        rti1516e::HLA_EVOKED
    );

    // 4. Your code

    // 5. Disconnect from the RTI
    rtiAmbassador->disconnect();

    return 0;
}

        // 2. Create a Federate Ambassador
        FederateAmbassador fedAmbassador =
