Due at the end of today's class
Problem (similar to text problem #2 on page 194).
Find the best strategy (without violating the spirit of the simulation) you can for completing
the race course in minimum time.
The author's simulation described on pages 189-194 of your text can be downloaded from:
http://mathcs.holycross.edu/~csci150/car4.pas
What To Turn In.
- A printed listing of the last page of the car program the only place you may make
changes.
- You must highlight the changes you made to the program, so that it is OBVIOUS to the
grader how to replicate your score. Include the score to achieved by making these
changes. Remember you may not "cheat" by changing the point of the problem, by
making the simulation less like a real race (you cannot get rid of skid factors and the
like), by illegally changing an "out-of-control" parameter from 9.86, by changing the
start position to skip traversing part of the track, by starting with a negative time or any
similar shortcut.
- A brief written description of your strategy (typed) on a separate sheet of paper detailing
why you made the changes you did. You should include a section on how you searched
for a successful strategy and what difficulties you had.
- Be sure to add a comment at the end of the code with your name included in it.
