lem-in

Lem-in is a project task from UNIT Factory school. The program will receive the data describing the ant farm from the standard output in the following format:

• number_of_ants
• the_rooms
• the_links

The ant farm is defined by the following lines:

##start
1 23 3
2 16 7
#comment
3 16 3
4 16 5
5 9 3
6 1 5
7 4 8
##end
0 9 5
0-4
0-6
1-3
4-3
5-2
3-5
#another comment
4-2
2-1
7-6
7-2
7-4
6-5

Which corresponds to the following representation:

              ______________
            /                \
    ______[5]----[3]----[1]   |
  /              |     /      |
[6]-----[0]----[4]   /        |
 \    _________/ | /          |
   \ /          [2]__________/
    [7]_________/

There are two parts:

• The rooms, which are defined by: name coord_x coord_y
• The links, which are defined by: name1-name2

Comment line starts with # and can be placed anyware. Lines that start with ## are commands modifying the properties of the line that comes right after. For example, ##start signals the ant farm’s entrance and ##end its exit.

Results displayed on the standard output in the following format:

• number_of_ants
• the_rooms
• the_links
• Lx-y Lz-w Lr-o ... x, z, r represents the ants’ numbers (going from 1 to number_of_ants) and y, w, o represents the rooms’ names.

Example:

    [2]
   / | \
[0]  |  [1]
   \ | /
    [3]

For more comfortable viewing the program result you can use visualise.py - graphical interactive visualiser written in python. You can get it from alushenk's lem-in repository.

usage example:

./lem-in < maps/map | ./visualise.py
