Provided a car and a set of pregenerated maze, we were tasked with developing a pathing algorithm.
The car had no preexisting knowledge of the map, and had to collect a predetermined number of parcels before making its way to an initially undiscovered exit point.
All code written by us is in src/mycontroller, and named according to the design pattern used.
All other code was provided as part of the assignment.
Open the project in your favourite Java editor/IDE.
You may need to add some of the jars provided in lib. If using IntelliJ, you can do this through File -> Project Structure -> Modules -> Dependencies
Generate the map and start the car's exploration by running the main method at src/swen30006/driving/desktop/DesktopLauncher.java.
You can easily modify basic properties in assets/Driving.Properties.
Choose from one of the three pregenerated maps by uncommenting one of the three Map= lines.
Uncommenting multiple maps will result in an exception.
Choose a controler by uncommenting one Controller= line.
Originally bundled with this assignment was a choice of two controllers.
controller.ManualController lets you use keyboard navigation to control the car.
controller.SimpleAutoController attempts to solve a map naively by following nearby walls.
The smarter controller.MyAutoController we developed is the default selected.
Feel free to mess arouund with other options such as Fuel, Health and others.
Updating ParcelsNeeded to a large number may cause issues if the map isn't large enough to fit them all.
