C++ Problem
The game starts out with n leprechauns. Each leprechaun
starts out with a million dollars of gold (i.e.,
gi = 1,000,000). The player wants to trap as many
of these leprechauns in a pit and steal their gold! The leprechauns
are all in a row, with each leprechaun at location
xi, a double precision floating point number.
Initially, the first leprechaun is at x=0, the second at
x=1,000,000, …; i.e., xi =
i*gi, i=0,1,2,….
At every iteration of the simulation, the leprechauns are processed
in strict order from i=0,1,2,… The processing of a
leprechaun involves these steps:
The leprechaun jumps to a new location xi +
r * gi, where r is a random number
between -1 and 1.
There is a pit located between -1,000 and 1,000. If -1000 <
xi < 1000, then that leprechaun is trapped
forever (does not participate in the game anymore) and all his gold
is added to the players score (the player starts with
score=0).
If a leprechaun lands right on top of another (k), then
the newly arrived leprechaun steals all the gold from k,
and the bankrupt leprechaun k exits the game.
The leprechaun then steals half the gold from the nearest
leprechauns to his right and left, if he indeed has both
neighbours. (If the position moved to is either the largest or
smallest value of all xi, then there is only one
neighbour that is nearest. In this case he steals half the gold
from this nearest neighbour).
The game ends after a fixed period of time (e.g., 20 seconds),
at which point the final score is displayed.
You must use a map-based data structure for
this project to efficiently access and modify the state of the
leprechauns. While it is possible to implement the logic using
simpler data structures, your code will run too slow to be
competitive. Note that the more iterations you can complete within
the specified time limit, the more likely you are to trap
leprechauns and get a higher score.
You can use the map container included in the C++ Library
