elevators

Simulate elevator's service, given a number of floors X elevators.

Try it online:

• Go to https://replit.com/@jotafeldmann/elevators
• Click the "shell" tab
• Run make dev

Motivation

We use elevators everyday. But everytime I think "all this elevator's behaviours can be improved, somehow".
So, as a programmer, I'm thinking how to describe this challenge in a generic model, just for fun.

Purpose

• Simulate elevator's service, given a number of floors X elevators
• Learn Deno

How to use

• Install Deno 1.0.0

• Clone

git clone https://github.com/jotafeldmann/elevators

• Install

make install

• Test

make test

• Default/dev (dev mode, watch changes and reload)

make

#or

make dev

• Run (prod env)

make run

Testing

• https://github.com/denoland/deno/blob/master/docs/testing.md
• https://deno.land/std/testing/

Roadmap

• TypeScript setup
• Request elevator at floors
• Add watch changes and reload task
• Add event controller
• Add basic visual interface
• Add continuous flow of requests
• Converted to Deno
• Add make tests to basic classes
• Add make fmt
• Add CI (Github Actions)
• Add CLI/dynamic parameters (number of floors, elevators, speed)
• Add metrics (e.g. waiting time, movements)
• Add simulation cases results
• Request floors from elevators (building.requestElevatorAtFloor().then(e => e.requestFloor(5)))
• Limit and control number of people inside elevators
• Add different rules for elevators (e.g. elevator 2 only receive requests from last floors)
• Prediction (AI?) max efficiency
