Running & Testing Level Generators

The instructions here describe the steps needed to run and test level generators that you have created.

Running Sample Level Generators

Disabling Other Runners

In the file src/Test.java, comment out any code blocks related to running instances of the game. At the very least, you should be commenting out the following line:

// 1. This starts a game, in a level, played by a human.
// ArcadeMachine.playOneGame(game, level1, recordActionsFile, seed); // Make sure this line is commented out.

Enabling The Level Generator Runner

In the same file src/Test.java, locate the following code block and make sure it is uncommented (i.e., the code will be run.)

//5. This starts a game, in a generated level created by a specific level generator
if(ArcadeMachine.generateOneLevel(game, geneticGenerator, recordLevelFile)){
        ArcadeMachine.playOneGeneratedLevel(game, recordActionsFile, recordLevelFile, seed);
}

Switching the sample level generator

Replace the variable geneticGenerator with any of the following:

• randomLevelGenerator
• geneticGenerator
• constructiveLevelGenerator
