Sails is a simulator designed to test the AI of autonomous sailing robots. It emulates the basic physics of sailing a small single sail boat

Currently a large work in progress.

Build status:

1. Install the dependencies:

Fedora: sudo yum install cmake gtk3-devel librsvg2-devel

Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install cmake build-essential libgtk-3-dev librsvg2-dev

2. Get source:

$ git clone https://github.com/kragniz/sails.git

3. Compile:

$ cd sails
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make
$ cd ..

4. Run with:

$ ./build/sails

1. Install Xcode (not command line utilities) and accept the license.
2. Install JHBuild (a tool written for building large GNOME applications):

$ wget https://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk-osx/plain/gtk-osx-build-setup.sh
$ sh gtk-osx-build-setup.sh
$ alias jhbuild="~/.local/bin/jhbuild"
$ jhbuild bootstrap
$ jhbuild build meta-gtk-osx-bootstrap
$ jhbuild build meta-gtk-osx-gtk3

3. Now, JHBuild should be all ready to compile GTK+3 applications. To get a sane build environment, enter the jhbuild shell:

$ jhbuild shell

4. In this shell, start building stuff:

$ git clone https://github.com/kragniz/sails.git
$ cd sails
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make
$ cd ..

5. Now run with:

$ ./build/sails

Install MinGW and add the bin directory (defaults to C:\MinGW\bin) to PATH.

Install GTK+ from the all-in-one bundle.

Install git.

Get a copy of the source (using git bash):

$ git clone https://github.com/kragniz/sails.git

Compile using make:

$ cd sails
$ make

Run with:

$ ./sails.exe

Currently, the only way to interact with the boat is via the keyboard. This will change once the API is implemented. Current controls are:

• e and r - turn the rudder left and right
• s - toggle whether the sail is held or relaxed
• space - toggle camera mode from tracking and non-tracking
