Compiling the code

Make sure you have ARGoS >= 3.0.0-beta52 installed!

Commands:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ../src
make
sudo make install

Before Running the Simulation

These folders need to be created for the robots to output their data

mkdir robot_color_output
mkdir sensor_color_output
mkdir time_output

Run the ARGoS Simulation

argos3 -c src/examples/experiments/my_kilobot_movement.argos

Each robots outputs its color opinion at every timestep in a txt file in the robot_color_output folder.

Multi-Agent Simulation

The code for the MA Simulation can be found in the MA-Simulation folder. A small readme is added there on how to execute it.
