Two swarms of ants following the leader
Two swarms of ants following the leader
An ant is defined to be at a particular point in space, specified by x and y coordinates. Each ant is also given one friend, someone else (not themselves) to follow around. Every second, an ant will perform three behaviors
Point.java
double x stores the x coordinate
double y stores the y coordinate
public Point(double x, double y) is the constructor, and sets the x and y
coordinates.
public double getX() returns the object's x value.
public double getY() returns the object's y value.
public void setX(double x) sets the x value to be the input x.
public void setY(double y) sets the y value to be the input y.
public double distance(Point p) Calculates the Euclidean distance between two
points, using the formula sqrt((x1 - x2) ^ 2 + (y1 - y2) ^ 2).
Ant.java
Point pos stores the current position of the Ant
Ant friend stores the current friend of the Ant
public Ant(double x, double y) is the constructor, and initialized the Point pos to
be at x, y.
public void addFriend(Ant f) sets the value of friend to be the input f.
public double getX() returns the Ant's x value.
public double getY() returns the Ant's y value.
public Point getPos() returns the Ant's Position.
public void draw() draws the Ant to the StdDraw screen. I used a circle centered at
the Point of pos, and with a radius of 0.05. Also draws the path the Ant will follow, between it's
current location and 1/2 the distance to it's friend.
public void move() moves the Ant 1/2 the distance toward it's friend.
public void wiggle(double w) randomly changes the x and y position. This should add or
subtract a random number from each by w/2.
public void repel(Ant other) moves the Ant away from the other Ant by twice their
current distance. This should be in the direction exactly opposite of the other Ant.
