  1. CCR Simulator- Walkthrough CSCI 460- Spring 2012 Kayla Pope 3/5/2012

  2. Project Definition (Brief) • Design track definition program • Support protocol for decoders and Auxiliary Input Units from National Model Railroad Assoc. • Develop API functions that match protocol for existing CCR functions • Develop graphical interface • Simulator supports multiple trains • Simulate error conditions (crash, train failure, etc.) • Modify 2010 CCR to run in real or simulator mode

  3. Beginning Research • Browsed Brice Hilgemann’s website • Initially focused on “basics” of it • Printed off his code • Looked for underlying data structures- haven’t really figured them out • Decided against creating “plug-in” program • Makes project more flexible • Means I must create simple user interface • Began playing with actual train • Not fully functional, but at least somewhat works • Haven’t seen it work with Brice’s project yet

  4. Cont’d Research & Design • Several short meetings with DCP and Dr. McVey • Decisions on track design program • User can: • Click points to create track • Drag “curve” points to create desired curves (in edit mode) • Data structure for “segments” • Will help with moving train along • Timer object to control speed • Timer tick shorter=faster speed • Speed limits??

  5. More Design Issues • Graphical Freedom given to user? • How to give freedom to create desired look • Document Object set up • Allows for user interface to change • Have not yet implemented this • CSCI 350 alum—is it difficult to implement after program is created? Should I do this before moving forward?

  6. Program Demo • VERY rough • Next up: • Create class to allow entire track to be redrawn • Need to know the “type” of point • Restrict points that can be moved • Knowing point type will help • Implement document object? • Redraw curve WHILE dragging?

  7. Suggestions Regarding… • track designer program • how to put in enough time • anything else! Thank you!
