The objective of this assignment is toapply the concepts of threading by developing a simple C++ Pthreads program todiscover the surroundings and the shortest path in a 2D maze
BackgroundThis assignment requires you to write a multi-threaded C/C++ Pathfinder program todiscover the surroundings of a jungle maze. Each [x, y] location in the mazerepresents a grid area of the jungle terrain. A particular gird area could be
impassable (rep. by # barrier) ,
containsdanger (rep. by X danger area)
clear, (i.e. allows you totravel)
An example of the jungle maze will be provided to you (see Appendix A,mazedata.txt).Your objective is to explore as much of the jungle maze terrain as possible, andmark the discovered area as barrier (#), or danger (X) accordingly.When your program terminate, it should output a map of the explored jungle maze, aswell as 1 safe path, to traverse from Start to End locations.
Task RequirementsA)At startup, your program should read in the 2D maze configuration (mazedata.txt)which stores the information about the maze dimensions, barriers, start and endlocations. Please refer to Appendix A for an example.
B)For the purposes of testing your program, a sample of what information should beoutput is shown in Appendix B.C)Before you start developing your program, you should take some time to review theoutput, and analyze the requirements of the Pathfinder program.D)Your program should have at least 2 threads, each thread attempting toexplore surrounding locations to discover whether it contains a barrier (#)or danger (X).
E)Impt1 : your program should maintain a global Maze resource or variable, holdinginformation about all the barriers or danger areas uncovered by your exploringthreads!
F)Impt2 : when a particular thread has encountered a barrier (#) or danger (X),it should
Recordthe path (history of point locations) it has traversed, since the StartLocation, to reach the barrier / danger areas, and locations of barrier /danger should be marked on your global Maze resource
The thread loses its life (i.e. should be destroyed) if it has encountered adanger area (X) !!G)Whenevera thread is destroyed, your program should create another replacement thread,to traverse the jungle maze beginning from the Start Location again. But thistime, it should access the global Maze resource to learn and avoid thebarriers and danger areas discovered by its predecessor threads!
H)In this way, the sacrifice of the destroyed threads are not in vain, as itsknowledge (of locations of the barriers / danger areas) have been recorded inthe global Maze resource that can be accessed by future generations ofcreated threads to aid their survival in order to discover a path to EndLocation!I)As you probably guess by now, the access to the global Maze resource should beprotected via usage of mutex locks. Whether a thread is:
Updatingits discovery of the path to barrier / danger areas OR
Accessingthe global Maze resource to learn about the discovered locations of thebarriers / danger areas
Only 1 thread can access itat any one time!J)Oncethe program is completed and tested to be working successfully, you are highlyencouraged to add on new features to the program that you feel are applicableto the task of finding the shortest path thru a maze. Additional marks may beawarded subject to the relevancy and correctness of the new functionalities.
K)Yourprogram should be written in C++, and using the library functions available inheader file pthread.h, to handle all aspects of thread creation, managementand synchronization.
L)Toencourage good program design, you should consider using different *.cpp class filesto encapsulate groups of related methods/functions.
Additional Resources
After all students have gone through thisdocument, your tutor will hold a special session to discuss / elaborate onthe requirements of this assignment.
Inaddition, your tutor will hold a Q & A sessions to clarify any issues/doubtsyou may have on the analysis and design of this multi-threaded program. Toensure a fruitful session, all students must come prepared with their listof questions, so that everybodys time is efficiently utilized.Deliverables1)Thedeliverables include the following:a)Theactual working shell program (hard+soft copies), with comments on each file,function or block of code to help the tutor understand its purpose.b)Aword document (hard+soft copies) that elaborates on:
(Interpreted)requirements of the program
Diagram/ Illustrations of program design
Summaryof implementation of each module in your program
Reflectionson program development (e.g. assumptions made, difficulties faced, what couldhave been done better, possible enhancements in future, what have you learnt,etc)c)Aprogram demo/evaluation during lab session. You must be prepared to performcertain tasks / answer any questions posed by the tutor.2)IMPT:Please follow closely, to the submissioninstructions in Appendix C, which contains detailsabout what to submit, file naming conventions, when to submit, where to submit,etc.3)The evaluation will be held during lab session whereyou are supposed to submit your assignment. Some time will be allocated for youto present / demonstrate your program during the session.GradingStudentsdeliverable will be graded according to the following criteria:(i)Programfulfills all the basic requirements stipulated by the assignment
Therequirements includes some/all of the following:ability to handle maze of different sizesNo. of danger areas uncovered
No. of barriers uncovered
No. of threads utilizedValidity of the single solution path (a series ofPoint locations leading from Start to End locations
(ii)Successfuldemonstration of a working program, clarity of presentation and satisfactoryanswers provided during Q & A session.
(iii)Additionalefforts in enhancing the program with features over and above taskrequirements, impressive, killer presentation and demonstration, etc.
(iv)Afterthe submission of deliverables, students will be required undergo an evaluationprocess (to determine fulfillment of task requirements.) Further instructionswill be given by the Tutor during the subsequent respective labs. Please payattention as failure to adhere to instructionsmay result in deduction of marks.
Tutorsnote:
Inthe real working world, satisfactory completion of your tasks is no longerenough. The ability to add value, communicate and/or demonstrateyour ideas with clarity is just as important as correct functioning of yourprogram. The grading criteria is set to imitate such requirements on a smallerscale.
