Do you know the amazing couch-coop game overcooked? I simplified it to a flat perspective as follows:
The two blue circle represent the two players, you can collaborate with your partner to complete orders and earn points by selecting, processing, serving, and washing dishes.
You can experience this game by the following two ways:
cd QtOvercooked
QtOvercooked.exe -l ..\overcooked\maps\level1\level1-1.txt
"-l" parameter is followed by the map path, you can experience different types of maps I provided in \overcooked\maps
Execute the above instructions in Windows terminal and it will show the game interface.
Player1 👦 can be controlled by "WASD" (which represent moving up, left, down, right respectively), "Space" (which represents pick up or put down items) and "J" (which represents interacting, such as cooking and washing dirty plates).
Player2 👧 can be controlled by the direction keys on the keyboard ⬆️ ⬅️ ⬇️ ➡️ (which represent moving up, left, down, right respectively), "Enter" (which represents pick up or put down items) and "Ctrl" (which represents interacting, such as cooking and washing dirty plates).
The top left corner shows the current outstanding orders and scores
You can modify the code in \overcooked\source and let it run automatically just like the gif above shows.
cd QtOvercooked
QtOvercooked.exe -l ..\overcooked\maps\level1\level1-1.txt -p ..\overcooked\cmake-build-debug\main.exe
"-l" parameter is followed by the map path, you can experience different types of maps I provided in \overcooked\maps
"-p" parameter is followed by the executable file of your policy code (the default is \overcooked\cmake-build-debug\main.exe)
The logic it automatically runs is to control the player's movement based on the output string in main.cpp, in frame x, you are supposed to output "Frame" + x in the first line and output "Move [LRUD]*n" or "Interact [LRUD]*n" or "PutOrPick [LRUD]*n" in the second line.
Here also provides two efficient auxiliary tools to help you check your result:
runner.exe
cd QtOvercooked
runner.exe -l ..\overcooked\maps\level1\level1-1.txt -p ..\overcooked\cmake-build-debug\main.exe
Execute the above instructions in Windows terminal and it will show your score in a short time.
clilog.txt
run QtOvercooked.exe -l ..\overcooked\maps\level1\level1-1.txt -p ..\overcooked\cmake-build-debug\main.exe and then check the clilog.txt in the QtOvercooked dir, it will show all the string that was just output and input during program execution.
Here is the score this original code can get:
| map | score |
|---|---|
| 1-1 | 2022 |
| 1-2 | 2377 |
| 1-3 | 2142 |
| 1-4 | 2152 |
| 2-1 | 1590 |
| 2-2 | 1546 |
| 2-3 | 1228 |
| 2-4 | 1064 |
| 3-1 | 1842 |
| 3-2 | 1660 |
| 3-3 | 781 |
Hope you can modify the code and get a higher score!
