Swarm_Simulator

This is a simple swarm simulator for the purpose of testing the algorithms to be applied on the bots.

The circle.cpp file contains the algorithm for the formation of a circle from a given number of bots.

Building:

1. Clone the repository and cd into the cloned directory.
2. Run the following commands (Need to do it only once) make Start make Output g++ -std=c++11 -pthread Simulator.cpp -o Simulator
3. Make the algorithms: For each algorithm, run make <algorithm_name>. To make test: run make test To make test2: run make test2 To make circle: run make circle To make the manual destination input: run make destination
4. Run the Simulator ./Simulator <algorithm_name> (use the flag: --dest-screen to manually give the destination points) (use the flag: circle to run the circle formation algorithm)

To spawn the bots select the points by left-clicking on them. To run the simulation right-click on the arena.
