The simulation is complete, it took 6.003789451s
git clone git@github.com:anthdm/alien-invasion.git
cd alien-invasion
make
After running the commands above, the binary program is available as bin/invasion
It's always a good idea to run tests before running fresh cloned programs.
make test
./bin/invasion -aliens 4 -interval 1s -world data/world.txt
default values:
- aliens: 3
- interval: 1 second
- world: data/world.txt
Creating world files by hand is a slow and tidious process. That's why I left a simple and quick script in the worldgen folder to generate those world files automatically.
How to use
go run worldgen/main.go > world.txt
This will generate 16 cities. You can add more cities by simply adding them to the list. Make sure the cutoff parameter is adjusted to fit your needs.
