Pursuit Evasion

A problem in computer science where a set of pursuers is trying to catch a set of evaders.

Greedy Policy

In greedy policy the next-best state is selected in each discrete step of the game simulation without considering longer prediction horizon.
Usual policies incorporate distances between individual agents as follows:

Tasks (2 points) - Lab11G

  1. Implement a greedy policy according to the above-described rules
  2. Note, you can improve the performance of the algorithm by employing more efficient distance function calculation method (e.g. Floyd-Warshall)
  3. Submit archived player.py and planner.py classes into the BRUTE upload system
