Behind the Scenes

Why Build this Project

  • Elevator Saga is essentially a disk scheduling simulator, the core algorithms of which tangentially relates to database design.

What Problems this Solves

  • This particular repo builds a generalized solution in which preceding levels ideally can be solved with the highest-level of built code.

Learned Along the Way

  • General javascript practices, scheduling algorithms and the interesting nuances in differences between scheduling algorithms and actual real world physical algorithms.
  • Tagging - the author had not previously used tagging. Tagging is super useful as long-lived branches can be a nightmare to sort out. Previously the author used project milestones with links but tagging is great because it packages up source code at a given point in time for download whereas links to commits do not parse out the code that easily as a ready made downloadable zip file, as tagging does.

Getting Started - How to Install and Run

  1. Check the versioning table above within README.md.
  2. Copy and paste the contents of main.js into the Elevator Saga IDE Interface.

Coding Conventions

  • For the most part, try to do the best possible to abide by W3School Convention Formatting.
  • ElevatorSaga appears to be OK with tabs, so use tabs rather than spaces for visibility.
