Simulate a Building with Elevators, Floors, and People.
The Simulation class runs on repeated iterations we call clock_ticks, where in every iteration, the program simulates a Building in which People want to get to different Floors using Elevators. Simulation creates the Building and the agents that comprise it.
The Building holds a collection of Floors and Elevators, and it also manages the task of making a call to an Elevator from a specific Floor. At every iteration of clock_tick the Building send a clock_tick command to all the elevators.
The Floor holds a queue of People that are waiting to board a passing Elevator. The Floor class makes the elevator calls for the People to the Building which holds the collection of Elevators.
The Elevator holds a list of Passangers and is travelling :up and :down the Building. The Elevator can determine what elevator calls it is getting in order to travel to the Floors that have People queueing in them. When the Elevator has no passengers and there were no elevator calls made, the Elevator travels to the resting_floor.
- In order to change the current configuration (1
Elevator, 5Floors, 5Simulations) please change them insim.rb. - People are created randomly as the
Simulationcontinues (at a %50 chance). - The
Elevatorclass ques the elevator calls and determines which ones it should answer in a first-come-first-served basis, while travelling up and down, stopping once at every floor for everyclock_tick.
As of the most recent build the Simulation class can only simulate one elevator in a building, but as many floors, people, and simulations as you want.
