A Java Program that showcases AI capabilities using Breath-first Search as an algorithm for a Miner looking for a hidden gold in a grid. This Machine Project was submitted to Dr. Judith Azcarraga as partial completion for the course CSINTSY at De La Salle University. My co-worker for this project is Jordan Sibug.

You may opt to download the JAR file or download the source code, to run the program. I personally suggest downloading the JAR file instead. A JAR File is like a ZIP file for Java classes but acts like an EXE file (So when you download it, then run it, it opens the application easily without necessary extra setup).

• Make sure that Java is installed already (Must be Version 11 or up). You may download Java 11 here. No need to download JavaFX for running the JAR File.

1. Download the JAR file at http://bit.ly/CSINTSY-GoldMiner
2. After download is finished, you may run it by double-clicking the application. Treat it as an exe file.

• This project was built using the IntelliJ IDEA. Instructions will be clearer if executed using that IDE. Nonetheless, It should be opened by any IDEs.
• Make sure both Java and JavaFX are installed. Download Java 11 here and JavaFX 11 here.

1. Clone this repository by running the following in your terminal git clone https://github.com/cifelse/gold-miner.git
2. Once done downloading, open the folder as project. Add JavaFX libraries to the Global Libraries of your IDE. Learn how to do it here.
3. Run the main function located at Driver.java (src/Driver.java)

• The Default position of the gold is on coordinates (n - 1, n - 1) where n is the size of the n x n grid. So if the grid is 8x8, the default Gold coordinate is at (7, 7).
• There are no beacons and pits in the grid as a default setup, one must add them in order for them to appear.
• The Miner's default location is at (0, 0) which is at the upper left corner of the grid.
• This application has been designed specifically for monitors having at least 24 inches. The developers apologize for this. It's still runnable to every computer having Java 11 and up; but the window might be too large for smaller screens. It will still function - It might just be a nuisance for those users with smaller screens.
