C++ Programming for FinTech
Project 1. Dungeon Escape
Assigned: Friday Sep 23
Due: Oct 24 at 11:55:00 PM
Overview:
Jon Snow is trapped and prisoned by Wildlings in a complex dungeon. He has been looking for
an opportunity to escape and to unite the livings to fight against the imminent threat, the white
walkers. Winter is coming. Tonight is a good opportunity as the guard is off the shift now. Ygritte
and Jon’s friends at night’s watch outside have dug a tunnel exit. Jon has to seize this only chance
to find the way to the tunnel within a short period of time before the guard is back. Mankinds’
hope is pending on that.

Evaluation:

In this project you will develop a number of algorithms to help Jon find the tunnel. You will
implement the algorithms in C++, and will be graded on your program’s correctness, performance
and programming style.

The Blueprint:

You will be given a map of the storage rooms of the prison. The map will be formatted as a text
file with the following characters.
• “.” represents open floor, where Jon can walk safely
• “@” represents obstacles, where Jon should avoid
• “I” is the entrance door, where Jon enters each room.
• “O” is the exit door, where Jon leaves each room.
• “T” is the tunnel, which Jon can use to escape the dungeon for good.
All of the rooms except for the last room have exactly two doors, one entrance door, and one exit.
The last room has one entrance door and one tunnel.
The rooms are not necessarily the same size. If Jon walks into the obstacles in any of the rooms,
he will alert the guards and get caught.
A simple room might look like:

@@@@@@@
@@....@
I...@@@
@.....@
@@@@@.@
@T....@
@@@@.@@

Unfortunately, Jon cannot see anything in the dark, so he can only move in the North, South, East,
or West directions. That is, he may not travel along the diagonals of the room but still he could
feel the obstables by the training of being night’s watch and return to another directions. Your job
is to find a route for him to the tunnel and output this route with a sequence of directions in “N”,
“S”, “E”, “W”. Jon starts his journey at the entering door in the first room. Every time he leaves
the room through an exit door, he will begin at the entering door in the next room.

Specification:

Jon knows that there are K rooms. He will search for the exit door in the first K-1 rooms, and
search for the tunnel in the last room.
Once Jon finds the exit to a room, he must take one additional step to exit the room, depending
on which edge of the room he is at. If there are multiple directions in which he could exit, then
choose in order of “NSEW”.
If Jon cannot find an exit in the first K-1 rooms, or the tunnel in the last room, then the escape
simply fails.

Routing Approach:

You will develop two routing approaches for Jon:

1. Find the first valid path using a queue.
2. Find the first valid path using a stack.
   Note that the approaches given here are high-level. You will need to expand upon them to finish
   this project.

Input and Output Formats:

The input file is a text-based map describing the layout of each room. The first line contains an
integer indicating the number of rooms (suppose the number is K). The rest of the file is divided
into K sections describing each room. In the first line of each section, the size of the room (M rows
by N columns) is specified as a pair of integers, separated by a single space. The following M lines
will contain exactly N characters for each. For example, the following is a legal input file (though
it may be physically unrealistic):

2
3 3
@.@
..O
I.@
3 3
..I
.T@
...

The output will consist of K lines, where K is the number of rooms. Each line is a sequence of
moves in directions of “N”, “S”, “E”, “W”, and must end with a end of line character. For instance,
the queue-based output for the above map might look like:

NEEE
WS

If there is no possible way for Jon to escape without knocking over obstacles, print “Escape failed.\n”
to standard output.

Stacks, Queues, and STL:

You are encouraged to implement your own stack and queue classes. If you use the STL’s implementations, which will save you substantial programming time and most likely decrease the overall
runtime of your program (STL containers have been highly optimized over many years). However
for those who implemented their own correct stack and queue would be credited with better grades
on this project.

Command Line Arguments:

We will run your program with one of the commands:
./escape.exe –Stack < [testfile]
./escape.exe –Queue < [testfile]
Legal command line inputs include exactly one of –Stack and –Queue. If –Stack is present, then
use the stack-based approach, and use the queue-based approach if –Queue is present. If both are
present, neither is present, or if any other command line arguments are included, then print an
informative error message to stderr and terminate the program by calling exit(1).
The notation < [testfile] is file input redirection. This means that your program will treat the
contents of [testfile] as if it were coming in through cin. For this reason, you should use cin to read
input, and cout to display output. Do not use ifstream or ofstream.

Testing:

Testing your code to see if it produces the correct solution is essential. We highly recommend that
you test your code thoroughly with test cases beyond what we have given. For instance, your code
may have a bug that the given examples do not uncover or your code works with a 4 * 5 grid but
not a 10 * 12. Try to have a variety of maps to make sure that your code is robust and does not
have hidden bugs. For example, have small-, medium-, and large-sized maze grids, mazes that are
long or wide, and maze that are sparsely-populated (very few obstacles) and densely-populated
(many obstacles).
Also you need testing inputs with errors for error-handling testings. It would be expected that
error-handling would be part of the evaluation.

Public Test Case1:

Input: test1.txt

2
3 3
I..
...
..O
2 2
I.
.T

Command Line: ./escape.exe –Stack < test1.txt
Output:
EESSS
ES

Public Test Case2:

Input: test2.txt

2
3 3
@.@
..O
I.@
3 3
..I
.T@
...

Command Line: ./escape.exe –Queue < test2.txt
Output:

NEEE
WS

How To Submit Your Project:

You would need to submit the following in zip file to SAIF system. Considering the network traffic
time, it would be encouraged not to stall until the last minute of deadline for submission.

1. All of your header and cpp files
2. Compiled executable named as escape.exe, which would be the final version for test cases
   grading.

Coding Style:

Your coding style will be graded on what warnings it gives you (and how many) and a hand-grading
of the code.

Runtime Evaluation:

This project would not be graded by run time to encourage students to try out own implemenation
of stack and queue class. However it would be penalties if your program runs MUCH longer than
expected.

Grading:

The grading for Project 1 is out of 100 points:
• 70 points - A working (passing all test cases) stack and queue based implementation of the
program. (partial credits for passing each test case)
• 25 points - Implementation of own stack and queue class.
• 5 points - Coding style.

Hints and Advice:

• Start early! The earlier you start, the more time you have to write your code, ask questions,
and debug.
• Print debugging statements as you develop. Just make sure to remove them before submitting.
• Good Luck!
