Map of the city to be optimized

Inspiration

I am an obsessed PUBG player who wanted to apply the algorithms I learned in AI class to improve my performance.

What it does

Given a landing spot and a time limit by the user, it calculates an optimal or near-optimal looting route for the city Mylta.

How I built it

I gathered data from several related sites and identified every building in the city of Mylta manually, since no one else had bothered before. I used Java to implement an advanced tree-searching algorithm I learned in AI class.

Challenges I ran into

Gathering the data was exceptionally hard because I had to identify every building and measure the distances between them.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I am able to find a great looting route from any starting point in the city which is very practical when playing.

What I learned

I learned that this problem has a much larger state space than I anticipated, and I learned not to take data for granted.

What's next for PUBGLootPath

I would like to expand this to every city on the map. Eventually, this could turn into a website that the PUBG community would appreciate or it could become usedul analytics software for e-sports professionals.
