micromissiles-unity

Quick Start ​

We generate pre-built standalone binaries for Windows, Mac, and Linux from the release branch. These binaries are intended for non-development users who just want to run the application and modify a few configurations along the way.

You can find the latest release here.

Follow the instructions below for your operating system to download and run the application.

Windows ​

1. Download the zip file for Windows: micromissiles-<version>-windows_x86_64.zip.
2. Unzip the zip file. The zip file should contain a single directory called micromissiles-<version>-windows_x86_64.
3. In the micromissiles-<version>-windows_x86_64 directory, run micromissiles-<version>-StandaloneWindows64.exe.

Mac ​

1. Download the tarball file for Darwin: micromissiles-<version>-darwin.tar.gz.
2. Extract the tarball. The tarball should contain a single directory called micromissiles-<version>-darwin.
3. In the micromissiles-<version>-darwin directory, run the app file.
4. If you get a warning that Apple cannot check the application for malicious software:
   • Open System Preferences.
   • Navigate to Privacy & Security.
   • Click on Open Anyway to bypass Apple's developer check.

Linux ​

1. Download the tarball for Linux.
2. Extract the tarball and run the executable.

Basics ​

• Use the mouse and arrow keys (or WASD) to pan and rotate the camera.
• Use L to load a new simulation configuration.
• Use R to restart the simulation.
• Use Space to pause/resume the simulation.
• Use ESC to exit the application.

Next Steps ​

• Read the Simulation Overview to understand the simulation physics, agent behaviors, and swarm algorithms currently implemented in the simulator.
• Familiarize yourself with the Keybinds and Controls to navigate and interact with the simulation.
• Learn how to configure the simulation settings by reading the Simulation Configuration Guide.
• Contribute to the project by setting up the Unity project according to the Development Guide.
