PowerTurtle API

Small steps

  • constrained turtle for moving in small steps
  • turtle move every time slice (dt), default ~33ms (30/sec)
  • max_speed is world distance/second
  • max_turn is degrees/second
  • speed as normal (1..10)
  • forward/back are capped by max_speed * dt * speed()/10.0
  • left/right are capped by max_turn * dt speed()/10.0
  • in interactive mode, just run until no more actions
  • forward()/back() with no args moves constrained amount
  • forward(n)/back(n) is may take multiple time slices

Helper methods

difference, distance = Turtle.turn_towards(x, y) difference, distance = Turtle.turn_towards_heading(angle) difference, distance = Turtle.turn_away(x, y) difference, distance = Turtle.move_towards(x, y) difference, distance = Turtle.move_towards_heading(angle) difference, distance = Turtle.move_away_from(x, y) difference, distance = Turtle.move_towards_heading(angle)

Actions

long running actions that occur over multiple time slices e.g.

Turtle.actions.move_to(x, y)

Ink

  • represent whatever the the turtle draws/stamps.
  • where placed in world depends on normal pen characteristics
  • default ink is just Ink
  • other inks: - Wall - not passable (need collisions) - Acid - hurts to cross (needs health) - Resource (food, water, etc)

Game ideas

  • predator/prey
  • tron/snakes
  • traffic/cars
  • flocking
  • asteroids
  • maze solving
  • race course
  • resource search/competions
  • ant colony

World ideas

Small amount of noise to all turn/move values?
