Jupyter Notebook was mainly used for visualization purposes as a side objective. The core language used is in C.
Slime Mold Networks Just Like Tokyo Rail System
make && pip3 install -r requirements.txt
./lem_in [-p] [-c] < maps/your_choice_of_map
-p Lists of used paths that the ants are being sent.
-c Count the total of turns it took the total traversal of the map from source to exit.
After selecting the map of your choice from the maps folder, you will see different files with bunch of things happening.
To understand what is it doing, I will describe each part of the map file that is being used:
~/small/ex.map
3 <- Number of ants placed
2 5 0 <- Creating a new room
##start <- Command call of the start room
0 1 2 <- Start room of all ants first placed
##end <- Command call of the end room
1 9 2 <- Exit room of all ants in the end
3 5 4 <- Creating a new room
0-2 <- Room name 0 creating a path to room name 2
0-3 <- Room name 0 creating a path to room name 3
2-1 <- Room name 2 creating a path to room name 1
3-1 <- Room name 3 creating a path to room name 1
2-3 <- Room name 2 creating a path to room name 3
The first line of the file will be ALWAYS the total number of ants in place. After that, you can start creating more rooms. In order to create a new room, the structure must be [room string name] [position x] [position y]. For example, 2 5 0 is a room with a name 2 located in 5 and 0. Once the rooms are created (including the start and end), we can link to each room to create a path for our ants such as 0-2, 0-3, etc...
And for the big map from the visual/ex.txt example:
