The aim of this project is to enhance the existing educational tool for the robotics course based on Morse.
- Simplify the installation through an installer script
- Configure and start a simulation from a conf file
- Detect collisions
- Scoring
- Simulate energy losses
- Robot2robot communication with bandwidth limits
- Possibility to use different machines for environment and robots
Bash script installer.sh installs Morse simulator and all dependencies useful to the project.
To run the script open a terminal and type:
$ chmod +x installer.sh
$ ./installer.sh
The installer needs an Internet connection and apt-get command, it was tested on Xubuntu 14.04.4 and Xubuntu 16.04.1.

After the installation new files are added in /opt. At the top of directory hierarchy there is eduMorse folder, it contains:
- games -> blend files for maps and objects, conf files for games and robots
- libraries -> C and Java libraries to support programming in these languages
- score -> scripts to count score and collisions, a layer manages communication between them
- socket -> client-server communication
- project_template -> configuration files (TOML format) to set a simulation, main function in C and Java, example of Python script to control a robot
