Throughout their life cycle, MegaBeast colonies depend on an intricate web composed of the sensory strucures of of literally millions of H'bots of all sizes, shapes, and function. This part will extend the skiplist developed previously to indicate different types of H'bots in different cells by encoding the type in the cellname. The positions of the H'bots throughout the planet will be stored in a point-region (PR) quadtree. The members of the H'bot web net to conjoined by tendrils of sametoplasm and implemented MegaBeast will be identified based on the shortest paths between selected MegaBeasts. To make life easier in part 4, you will also be required to integrate a quad-tree drawing package into your code.
This portion of the project will model the construction of the Hanan-o-bot support web. There are three classes of Hanan-o-bots involved in the bioengineering of the ideal MegaBeast habitat. Unfortunately, h'bots of any two different classes tend to combine with nasty results. So, the facilities need to be physically isolated based on the kinds of Hanan-o-bots being processed. There are three types of Hanan-o-bots, isolated at different levels in the planet's crust, with each inter-type interface lined with inert materials that insulate these volatile materials. The levels are named alpha, gamma, and sigma, as detailed in the command specification below.
