Server (server.c)

• Purpose: Creates and manages pipes, sockets, and logs drone positions.
• Primitives Used: Pipes, semaphores, file operations, fork, sockets.

UI (ui.c)

• Purpose: Uses ncurses to display the drone position and UI messages.
• Primitives Used: Pipes, semaphores, ncurses.

Keyboard (keyboard.c)

• Purpose: Captures keyboard input and sends it to the drone through a FIFO.
• Primitives Used: Pipes, semaphores, FIFO.

Drone (drone.c)

• Purpose: Simulates a drone's movement based on keyboard input.
• Primitives Used: Pipes, semaphores.

Watchdog (watchdog.c)

• Purpose: Monitors the status of all processes and logs them.
• Primitives Used: Pipes, semaphores.

Targets (targets.c)

• Purpose: Creates targets and communicates with the server.
• Primitives Used: Pipes, semaphores, sockets.

Obstacles (obstacles.c)

• Purpose: Creates obstacles and keeps changing their positions periodically.
• Primitives Used: Pipes, semaphores, sockets.

Instructions for Installing and Running:

Prerequisites:

• Ensure you have the necessary libraries installed:
  • ncurses
  • konsole

Installation:

1. Clone the repository.
2. Create the build directory:

   mkdir build

3. Compile the components using make:

   make

Running:

1. First terminal:

   make
   ./build/master 8080

2. Second terminal:

   make
   ./build/master 127.0.0.1 8080

   ps: change the port and host address according to your needs

Operational Instructions:

UI Window:

• Displays the drone's position and coordinates.
• No user interaction; visualizes the drone's movement.

Keyboard Window:

• Press keys to control the drone's movement.
• Logs keypresses.

Watchdog Window:

• Monitors and logs the status of all processes.

Control Keys:

W (Move Up):

• Increments the upward force on the drone, simulating an upward movement.

A (Move Left):

• Decrements the horizontal force on the drone, simulating a leftward movement.

S (Move Down):

• Decrements the downward force on the drone, simulating a downward movement.

D (Move Right):

• Increments the horizontal force on the drone, simulating a rightward movement.

Q (Move Up-Left):

• Simultaneously decrements horizontal force and increments upward force.

E (Move Up-Right):

• Simultaneously increments horizontal force and increments upward force.

Z (Move Down-Left):

• Simultaneously decrements horizontal force and decrements downward force.

C (Move Down-Right):

• Simultaneously increments horizontal force and decrements downward force.

X (Stop):

• Sets both horizontal and vertical forces to zero, stopping the drone.

ESC (Exit):

• Exits the program.
