Week 3 Tutorial Exercise

 

Taking the VacuumDemo.zip file, extract the code and place it in a directory of your choice. Open VacuumGUIDemo.java in JCreator and recompile and run the program.

 

Your task is to change the demo program so that

1.     the position of the vacuum and dirt is randomly allocated when the program starts

2.     additional dirt is randomly dropped in the environment after the vacuum has finished cleaning the initial dirt

3.     the vacuum continues searching for dirt after it has done its first clean

4.     now change the performance measure of the agent so that moving between squares costs 5 instead of one and change the behaviour of the agent so that its performance improves according to the new measure.

 

To do these tasks you will need to open the other .java files in the zip file and see what they are doing.
