How to run

Create the named pipe to be able to send the simulator commands:

mkfifo cmds

Basic run:

./sailnavsim

With optional TCP server listening on localhost:$PORT (for weather data, live boat info, etc.):

./sailnavsim --netport $PORT

Performance test run:

./sailnavsim --perf

Add a boat

echo "TestBoat,add,44.0,-63.0,0,0" > cmds

Set a course and start the boat

echo "TestBoat,course,90" > cmds

echo "TestBoat,start" > cmds

Stop and remove the boat

echo "TestBoat,stop" > cmds

echo "TestBoat,remove" > cmds

Build and run tests

make tests

./sailnavsim_tests
