In this repository you will find some extra resources that may be useful when working on the elevator project. Since these resources are not required for completing the project they are kept separate from the things that are, such as the specification and evaluation information.
Contents:
- Single elevator algorithm and demo code for implementing this as a finite state machine in C
- Cost functions and ways to assign new hall requests to elevators
- Links to external programming language and design resources (below)
