Reflection on Daedalus' Performance

Well, obviously it was disappointing. Because it didn't move. At all. No need to beat around the Wumpus.

The one big issue that hindered us occurred right when the code was being integrated with the logic; we made it too complicated. At least, that's what the TA's told us. The coding format we ended up going with was more universal and modular. This means we used a lot of variables and changeable aspects that could be called on and moved around however which, ideally, would function fine. However, the ideal was not reached in this case. As a result, we only ended up creating an unnecessarily complex code that could not run which could not be fixed in time BECAUSE it was more complicated. Instead, we should have gone with, as Samm said, hard coding. This would allow for the code to be specific to the conditions of this trial which would lead to a simpler code that would've been easier to code and debug if necessary.

If we had done this type of coding, I am confident that Daedalus would have been able to complete the trial. Otherwise, the logic and body of Daedalus were functioning well.
