Wall Construction Overview

This page outlines the principles of wall construction , focusing on construction mechanics, crew management, and configuration file handling.

1. Wall Mechanics

• A single construction crew adds one foot of height per day to a section.

• The heights of all unfinished sections with active crews are incremented by one before the build continues to the next simulated day.

• A section is complete when it reaches a height of 30 feet.

• Each additional foot of height for a section requires 195 cubic yards of ice.

• Processing one cubic yard of ice costs 1,900 Gold Dragon coins.

2. Number of Crews Query Parameter

• The num_crews parameter is optional and impacts only the behavior of the profiles endpoints.

• Default behavior - num_crews is not provided in the request:

  • Each wall section has its own designated construction crew

    ℹ️ This default behavior is also applied if the provided num_crews parameter is:

    • Set to 0
    • Greater than or equal to the number of wall sections

• If the user provides the num_crews query parameter, the calculations follow these rules:

  • Each available crew is assigned to an unfinished section of the wall.
  • When a crew finishes its assigned section, it is reassigned to the next unfinished section.
  • If no unfinished sections remain, the crew is relieved after completing its task.

💡 For more details, please refer to the Detailed OpenAPI Documentation.

3. Wall Configuration File Format

• Uploaded files must meet the following requirements:

  • File Extension: .json.

  • File Content: Valid JSON data that represents a nested list of lists of integers.

    ℹ️ The outer list represents the entire wall. The inner lists represent individual wall profiles, where each integer indicates the height of a specific profile section.

    • Example:
    
    

    [
      [21, 25, 28],
      [17],
      [17, 22, 17, 19, 17]
    ]
