Statement
Goal
In this game, you control a mouse swimming in a pool trying to escape the cat. The cat is running around the pool and will try to catch you, but the cat will never go in the water. The goal is simply to escape from the pool without being trapped by the cat.If your mouse reaches the border of the pool and the distance from mouse to cat is greater or equals than
The game is played inside a pool of radius 500 pixels where 0,0 is the center of the pool (represented by a little green dot)
The mouse has a maximum speed
The cat has a dynamic speed that will be provided in input.
There is no physics in this game so the mouse can change completly its direction from one turn to another.
The mouse is captured by the cat if the distance between mouse and cat is strictly less than
If you are not able to escape after
You can display a gaming message capped to 27 Chars on the panel located in the left upper corner of the map (see details below).
Expert Rules
The cat is moving using the shortest path around the pool to target the closest point where the mouse can escape
This is the closest intersection of straight [Center pool/mouse position] and pool edges.
This is the closest intersection of straight [Center pool/mouse position] and pool edges.
Initialization input
1 integer CatSpeed representing the speed of the cat
Input for a game round
4 integers mouseX and mouseY representing the position of the mouse in the cartesian coordinate system where [0,0] is the center of the pool
catX and catY representing the position of the cat.
Output
2 integers X Y separated by spaces representing the target destination of the mouse in the
cartesian coordinate system where [0,0] is the center of the pool, optionally a space + message the message to display on panel
Example : -1000 1000 Escape the cat
Example : -1000 1000 Escape the cat
Contraintes
X and Y should be integers
