Map Loading

Introduction

The map loading feature allows you to load a map from a file and display it in the simulator. The map is loaded from a text file that contains a grid of characters, where each character represents a different type of cell. The map can be used to define the layout of the environment in which the robot will operate.

Map File Format

The map file is a JSON file that contains a grid of characters. Each character in the grid represents a different type of map component.

Note

The map file should be placed in the assets folder of the project.

Map Loading Locally

To load a map from a file, you can use the MapLoader class. The MapLoader class provides a method called loadMap that takes the path to the map file as a parameter and returns a Map object.

Here is an example of how to load a map from a file:

Map Loading Remotely

To load a map from a remote server, you can use the MapLoader class. The MapLoader class provides a method called loadMapFromUrl that takes the URL of the map file as a parameter and returns a Map object.
