Hakuna Matata

A playing agent for "Hunt the Wumpus".

Dependencies

Besides a Python 3 runtime, the only dependency is the DLV system. An executable named dlv will be picked up if it is (a) on the $PATH or (b) in the current working directory at the time of executing Hakuna Matata. For example:

$ which dlv
~/bin/dlv
# Will work!

$ which dlv
/usr/bin/which: no dlv in (...)
# Note that DLV is not in the $PATH!
$ file dlv
dlv: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, for GNU/Linux 2.6.15, BuildID[sha1]=9b02b8807051dc70990bda5d9f1744f10eb87675, stripped
# DLV is in the current working directory, good!
$ chmod u+x dlv
# Don't forget to allow exection!

If dlv cannot be found in either location, an attempt will be made to download it to the current working directory, before proceeding to the Hunt the Wumpus game. For example:

$ file dlv
dlv: cannot open 'dlv' (No such file or directory)
$ python3 -m hakuna_matata.cli -world '../worlds/test.txt'
NOTE: Could not find DLV! Will attempt to download it.

$ file dlv
dlv: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, for GNU/Linux 2.6.15, BuildID[sha1]=9b02b8807051dc70990bda5d9f1744f10eb87675, stripped

Usage

• -size allows to set the size of the generated world, as a positive integer number.
• -seed allows to set the seed for the world generator, as a hexadecimal number.
• -world allows to set the world specification (size, location of pits/wumpus/gold), given as an input file.
• -human if you do not want to have Hakuna matata play, but try out the game yourself.
• -generate allows to generate a world together with the score obtained by the perfect agent over it, given a base.
• -benchmark allows to test an agent against a given benchmark suite.

Embedding in the Wumpus World Simulator

The Wumpus World Simulator is available via a Git submodule at src/wsu. To check out the contents, run the following commands:

$ git submodule init
Submodule 'Projects/wumpus/wsu' ([email protected]:ILS/wumpus-world-simulator.git) registered for path 'src/wsu'
$ git submodule update
Cloning into '/tmp/white/Projects/wumpus/src/wsu'...
Submodule path 'src/wsu': checked out 'ca54e7cbf449134d45363c84820575cf401f950c'

Next, navigate to the directory:

$ cd src/wsu

Make sure that your Python configuration is set up correctly and/or the contents of Makefile are alright and go ahead to build pywumpsim:

$ make pywumpsim
# or
$ PYTHON_CONFIG=python-config3 make pywumpsim

To invoke the simulator correctly, make sure that PYTHONPATH points at src, i.e.:

$ PYTHONPATH=.. ./pywumpsim

Of course, it also works the other way round:

$ cd ..
$ PYTHONPATH=. ./wsu/pywumpsim

Generally, you may well be able to use a precompiled pywumpsim binary. Just point PYTHONPATH at src, which is where PyAgent.py is located.
