# taxi project hints 

Taxi project module decomposition:

GUI: GTK library must be used (no SDL), check out the example available at our server:
$ cp ~eecs22/GTK_Example.tar.gz ~/.

data structures: taxi, map, location, request, etc.

Client - Server communication

Scheduling/routing

Test module

----------------------------------------
client: 
- connect to the server (with port #)
- drawMap
- sendRequest
- getResponse
- refreshDisplay
- etc.

server:
- load configuration file if any
- draw map
- recvRequest (receive)
- schedule taxis
- routing taxis
- sendResponse
- refreshDisplay
- etc.

CVS must be used to control version.


// some APIs
drawMap(int numOfRows, int numOfCols, char *rowNames[], char *colNames[], Objects *objects);

// Obstacle objects on the map, assume they are all rectangles
typedef struct Object_t {
	Positon topLeft;
	int width;
	int height;
	char name[80]; // "airport"
} Object;

# configuration file example
numOfTaxis=12
pricePerMile=2
maxSpeed=45
# end of configuration file

// load pricing information from file to the server application
loadConfiguration(char *filename) {
	// open file...
	while(!endOfFile) {
		if (strcmp(line) == "maxSpeed") {
			//set max speed to 45 mph
		}	
		// check other configurations ...
	}
	// close file
}
