Getting Started

This guide will help you set up, build, and run the Waste Collection Simulation project.

Prerequisites

Make sure you have the following installed on your system:

• C++
• g++ (C++ compiler)
• make
• ncurses library

On Debian/Ubuntu-based systems, you can install the required dependencies using:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install g++ make libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev

📁 Project Structure

Here’s what the project directory looks like:

week1/IT Pole/
├── Environment/
│   └── map.txt
├── include/
│   ├── CollectorRobot.hpp
│   ├── Core.hpp
│   ├── Error.hpp
│   ├── ncurses.hpp
│   ├── Parser.hpp
│   ├── Robot.hpp
│   └── SorterRobot.hpp
├── main.cpp
├── Makefile
└── src/
    ├── CollectorRobot.cpp
    ├── Core.cpp
    ├── Ncurses.cpp
    ├── Parser.cpp
    ├── Robot.cpp
    └── SorterRobot.cpp

How to Build and Run

1. Clone (if you have access) and navigate into the repository:

git clone git@github.com:TekBot-Robotics-Challenge/2025-Team-Epibot-Code.git
cd week1/IT\ Pole/

2. Build the project:

make

This will compile all .cpp files in src/ using the headers in include/ and output an executable.

3. Run the simulation:

./robot Environment/map.txt

Replace Environment/map.txt with the path to your custom map file if needed.

Notes:

• Ensure the map file exists and is formatted correctly.

• The terminal window should be large enough for proper Ncurses rendering.

• To stop the simulation, press Q or Ctrl+C.

If you experience any issues, consult the source files or refer to the Project Demo page for more context.
