| === Strategy ===
| |
| | |
| In this strategy, the turtle moves down, regardless of whether the dot is open.
| |
| <pre>
| |
| def _turtle_strategy(self, turtle):
| |
| turtle[1] +=1
| |
| return turtle
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| In this strategy, the turtle moves down until it is blocked.
| |
| <pre>
| |
| def _turtle_strategy(self, turtle):
| |
| if not self._dots[self._grid_to_dot((turtle[0], turtle[1]+1))].type:
| |
| turtle[1] +=1
| |
| return turtle
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| In this strategy, the turtle searches for an open dot, looking clockwise.
| |
| | |
| <pre>
| |
| def _turtle_strategy(self, turtle):
| |
| c = turtle[1] % 2
| |
| for i in range(6):
| |
| col = turtle[0] + CIRCLE[c][i][0]
| |
| row = turtle[1] + CIRCLE[c][i][1]
| |
| if not self._dots[self._grid_to_dot((col, row))].type:
| |
| return [col, row]
| |
| return turtle
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| In this version, the turtle orientation is set as well.
| |
| | |
| <pre>
| |
| def _turtle_strategy(self, turtle):
| |
| c = turtle[1] % 2
| |
| for i in range(6):
| |
| col = turtle[0] + CIRCLE[c][i][0]
| |
| row = turtle[1] + CIRCLE[c][i][1]
| |
| if not self._dots[self._grid_to_dot((col, row))].type:
| |
| self._orientation = i
| |
| return [col, row]
| |
| return turtle
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| In the '''default strategy''', the turtle choose a random direction and goes there if the dot is open.
| |
| | |
| <pre>
| |
| def _turtle_strategy(self, turtle):
| |
| c = turtle[1] % 2
| |
| n = int(uniform(0, 6))
| |
| for i in range(6):
| |
| col = turtle[0] + CIRCLE[c][(i + n) % 6][0]
| |
| row = turtle[1] + CIRCLE[c][(i + n) % 6][1]
| |
| if not self._dots[self._grid_to_dot((col, row))].type:
| |
| self._orientation = (i + n) % 6
| |
| return [col, row]
| |
| return turtle
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| In this strategy, the turtle will go off the edge if it can.
| |
| | |
| <pre>
| |
| def _turtle_strategy(self, turtle):
| |
| c = turtle[1] % 2
| |
| for i in range(6):
| |
| col = turtle[0] + CIRCLE[c][i][0]
| |
| row = turtle[1] + CIRCLE[c][i][1]
| |
| if self._dots[self._grid_to_dot((col, row))].type is None:
| |
| self._orientation = i
| |
| return [col, row]
| |
| | |
| n = int(uniform(0, 6))
| |
| for i in range(6):
| |
| col = turtle[0] + CIRCLE[c][(i + n) % 6][0]
| |
| row = turtle[1] + CIRCLE[c][(i + n) % 6][1]
| |
| if not self._dots[self._grid_to_dot((col, row))].type:
| |
| self._orientation = (i + n) % 6
| |
| return [col, row]
| |
| return turtle
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| The dots are stored in a 13x13 array. Each dot has an attribute, 'type', that determines it status. The edges have a type=None. Occupied dots have a type=True. Unoccupied dots have a type=False.
| |
| | |
| Your strategy should start with:
| |
| | |
| def _turtle_strategy(self, turtle):
| |
| | |
| The turtle argument is a tuple containing the column and row of the current turtle position. That is, turtle[0] is the horizontal position and turtle[1] is the vertical position.
| |
| | |
| Your strategy should return a tuple containing the column and row of the new turtle position, e.g.,
| |
| | |
| return [col, row]
| |
| | |
| There are some resources that you can use in your program, including:
| |
| | |
| ;CIRCLE: a 2x6x2 array of offsets that can used to find the column and row of the dots surrounding the turtle.
| |
| ;self._dots: the array of dots.
| |
| ;self._pressed: the index of the most recent dot pressed by the user
| |
| ;self._orientation:you can set the orientation of your turtle by assigning a number from 0-5 (clockwise beginning with 30 degrees from north)
| |
| ;self._set_label('your message here'):you can write a message on the toolbar if you want to communicate what your turtle is thinking
