RescueMaze is a rescue simulation competition environment designed for semi-experienced to highly experienced programmers.

Installation

Programming a controller

• Fixed error messages on startup

• Added front facing camera labelled camera_centre.

• Fixed bug with specific distance sensors only reading 0
• Fixed bug where heat sensors weren't reading correct values

• Robots are now placed into the world by the supervisor
• Export log of events after each game
• Positions of tiles, humans and obstacles randomly generated and automatically calculated based on tile scale
• Added an extra camera on the front of the robot. The cameras are labelled camera_left and camera_right.
• Start tile changes from green to white when the robots move off it and doesn't change back.

• There is now no need to specify robot type when sending data for estimated victim detection and exit messages.
  For example from struct.pack('i i i c', data, data1, data2, data3) to struct.pack('i i c', data, data1, data2)
• Thermal victims radius decreased
• Tiles are now much smaller
• Victims are now much smaller
• Increased distance sensor range
• Moved colour camera to a less obstructive position to avoid shadows
• Moved starting tile to within the maze
• Removed automatic object recognition from the camera
• Heated victims are now only a point light. Removed white box.
• Changed robot sensor configuration internally however it shouldn't affect anything.
• Distance sensor values are now linear ranging from 0 to 0.8, with a max range of around 2x tile size.

• Start 'bay' on outside of maze removed
• Robots not in generated world file
• Obstacles are not placed into the map due to smaller tile size

• Attempting to relocate with no robot no longer causes a crash
