The simulator, simulator, is used heavily for off-line development and testing. It provides the same interfaces as ssl-vision and radio, allowing soccer to run in (nearly) the same way for simulation and real operation.

Invocation

./simulator [-c <config file>] [--sv]

If no configuration file is given, it will use simulator.cfg in the current directory.

  • --sv causes the simulator to send data to the ssl-vision multicast address. Do not use this on a competition network!

Limitations

  • Only outputs data for one camera. Ball-occlusion simulation is still done as if there were two cameras.
  • No carpet effects such as loss of traction and variable height.
  • Only partial simulation of robot status in RadioRx packets.
