Docs

The full instructions (in French) are available here.

Usage

To use this package, you need to run Python 3.7 or newer.

python3 start.py

Configuration

All variables are located in the configuration file, from the target number of robots to the cost of each item.

You can play with the "speed" of the Foobartory by changing the DURATION_MODIFIER variable. Use 1 for actual seconds, default is 0.01.

Note that duration shown in the logs has been adjusted for actual speed, regardless of the DURATION_MODIFIER in your configuration.

Improvement ideas

• Add unit tests
• Improve the logic for robots to choose their next task
• Specialize the robots to avoid losing time when switching activities
