Re: Aprone's self driving car (game)
Aprone,
Thanks for this fun challenge.
My first step is going to be to try to write some Python code that will start the program, press keys, and read the scanner file. While I am not new to programmer, I am new to Python so this makes for a good learning exercise. If I can get it to work in a way that would let others just write the AI code, I think I might put it up on GitHub.
To that end, I have a couple questions.
* Is it right to assume that when the car crashes, the scan file will have a 1 at the position in the scan field where the car is?
* Does the player win if their car reaches or passes position 1000 or if they reach turn 1000 without crashing?
I also want to check to see if an assumption I am making is correct.
At turn 0, the scan file includes all the information about the field from position 0 through 9.
At turn 10, it contains all the position information for the field from positions 10 to 19.
So each turn, the scanner includes position information for a 7 x 10 grid that starts with the position that is the same as the turn number.
Is that correct?
Please, do not feel like you have to answer any of these questions if you think that will ruin the fun for others.
