Farmer Simulation

Project Overview

simulationRecord.mp4

This project aimed to demonstrate the concept of complexity in simplicity and scalability.
It showcases my ability to create efficient and adaptable code, even for complex projects.

Key Features

A Pathfinding:*

• Isolated pathfinding system using assembly definitions
  
• Customizable grid sizes and center points, large scale friendly
  

• Flexible path types (sharp linear or smooth bezier curve)
  Linear:__________________________Bezier curve:
  

• Automatic obstacle mapping for squares and rectangles
  

• Fully documented
  

Camera Controls:

• Boundaries and zooming
  
• Farmer following
  
• Drag-to-move
  
• Perspective and orthographic camera modes
  

Multiple Farmer AI:

• Open-ended AI system for future actor types
  
• Realistic farmer behavior with limited inventory and work interactions
  
• State machine-based AI with 8 distinct states that are:
  -Deploy crops state => if wanna transition to planting or have maximum capacity of seeds
  -Deploy seeds state => if wanna transition to collecting crops or doesnt have seeds and want to plant
  -Find empty crop ground state => if wanna plant seed but isn't near planting spot
  -Find grown crop => if wanna collect crop but isn't near that crop spot
  -Gather crops state => if wanna collect crop that is standing on
  -Gather seeds state => if is near chest that giving seeds and wanna collect seeds
  -Plant state => if wanna plant seeds and is in empty crop ground place
  -Wait for new work => if there is no work to do or something went wrong, safe state
  

UI

• Debugging friendly with text popups
• Ability to change simulation speed in runtime
• Visual showcase of farmers job statistics

Technical Details:

Packages: URP, DOTween, GridBox Prototype Materials, TextMeshPro
Custom Features: A* pathfinding, camera controls, multiple farmer AI, UI

Future Plans if i had time:

• Add new types of plants
  
• Support projection on rotated obstacles
  
• More types of Actors, like explorators or builders that would build new houses/cropfields/remove some obstacles
  
• Seperate chests to give and collect only one type of plant/crop/seed
