One day, I was riding in the elevator of my apartment and thought, this elevator system could be replicated by a simple Python project. That spark of curiosity led me to try and replicate an elevator system using Python, applying my current coding knowledge to make a small simulation. This project introduces core programming concepts like conditional statements, loops, lists, and functions while simulating an interactive elevator experience.
• Multiple Floor Selection: Navigate between floors by entering the target floor number.
• Passenger Weight Management: Adds and removes passengers based on their weight, ensuring the total weight doesn’t exceed the elevator's capacity.
• Passenger Count Limit: Limits the number of passengers, ensuring the elevator doesn't exceed its max capacity.
• Floor-by-Floor Simulation: Displays each floor passed in real-time, simulating elevator movement.
• Passenger On/Off Control: Prompts passengers to get on or off at each floor, adjusting the total weight accordingly.
-
The elevator starts at a default floor (Floor 1)
-
Users can add passengers with specified weights until the max weight or capacity is reached.
-
The user selects the target floor, and the elevator “moves” floor-by-floor, displaying each floor as it’s passed.
-
When the elevator reaches a floor, it asks if passengers want to get off or if new passengers want to get on, adjusting the total weight and count each time.
-
The program exits if a passenger requests floor “0.”
• Adding a GUI for a more interactive experience.
