Unity-as-a-production-line-simulator

A project I made in 2 weeks using Unity to create a simulation of a production line for doors and windows

Motivation

This was created as a coding test for an interview. I incredibly enjoyed creating this project because I had to learn how to create and manage threads. I was also curious if I would be able to create this project on Unity because it isn’t very thread friendly and is not necessarily designed for how I envisioned the project.

Tech/framework used

Built with

Unity

Features

Multi-threaded application

Door measurements are randomly generated to simulate orders

Calculates height and width of the window using door measurements. Windows are calculated differently depending on 3 different window types.

Constantly calculates the average measurements of finished doors and windows after each new addition

The speed of the lasers and products can be changed during runtime

Generates a report in a .txt file that lists each product information as well as the final averages of the measurements

Code Sample

Method to calculate window measurements using given door measurements

/// <summary>
    /// Gets all doors and matches each door with their corresponding window using their IdNumber
    /// The measurements are then calculated by:
    ///     *Getting the height and width of the door
    ///     *Subtracting the difference to create a gap
    ///     *Do calcuations depending on the selected window type
    /// </summary>
    public void calculateWindowMeasurements()
    {

        foreach (Door door in allDoors)
        {

            foreach (Window window in allWindows)
            {

                if (door.getIdNum() == window.getIdNum())
                {
                    if (door.getSelectedWindowType().Equals("Full"))
                    {
                        //calculates height of a full window by subtracting the height of door from the gaps 
                        //multiplied by 2 to account for both top and bottom gaps
                        windowHeight = door.getDoorHeight() - (heightDifference * 2);

                        //calculates width of a full window by subtracting the width of door from the gaps 
                        //multiplied by 2 to account for gaps on both sides
                        windowWidth = door.getDoorWidth() - (widthDifference * 2);
