Description

To create a drone simulation using JavaFx, the application should have a variety of different drones and other objects that move around an arena. That uses a structured object-oriented design having at least 1 abstract class

Class diagram

Basic structure

• GUI class
• Canvas class
• Arena class
• Object class

GUI

• Menu
  • Allows drone arena to be configured
  • Saved and Edited
  • Loaded (by default load from config)
  • Run simulation
  • Help screen
• Toolbar
  • Buttons to control the simulation
  • Start, Stop, Pause, Add objects
• Information Panel
  • Text descriptions or graphs
  • Show state of the current arena
  • Show contents of the arena
• Feedback to the user instead of crashing

Arena / Simulation

• Static and Moving objects
• Drones which turn when meet walls
• Multiple drones with different behaviour
• Charging stations
• Drone should be able to navigate static objects
• 'Predator' drones
• Player drone
