Learning to fish

Resources

• Lagoon . Here's the readme file
• WEKA

You will be operating on the biffysPeril map for this assignment. To run lagoon type:

      % go -cove map=biffysPeril

• Write a simple controller for one of the following types of boats. You may try to train a network, write your own controller, or do a mix of the two. We will go over training networks in class on Monday April 3.
  1. Fishing boat: Fishing boats go from a location near shore to another location near shore. They fish for a while (between 10 to 30 minutes) then go to the next location.
  2. Container Ship/Tankers: Think of these as tankers - these ships go from oil platforms in the middle of the map to a pier at your base and then back to the oil platform.
  3. Pleasure boat: Speedboats and launches zip around the bay and if outside,
  All boats should avoid other boats/traffic and land on the map. To avoid land, you need to know where land is. Look at landFollow in golduck/code/scripts/cat/Behaviors/catAvoidLand.py to see how to find out whether a ray drawn from your current position to another position intersects land.

• This is the second (and more complex part) of a three part assignment. The purpose of this assignment is to gain more familiarity with programming with the Lagoon system and the issues involved in writing behaviors for boats. As before you will have to program in Python and you may use the Python tutorial to get better at the language.

Good Luck
