Fuzzy logic racing car

The project tries to apply fuzzy logic to control car in simple racing game.

Controls

• C – switch the vehicle controller between the keyboard (user) and the fuzzy controller.
• P – pause the controller.
• S – execute of one simulation step during pause (1 frame assuming 30 frames per second). At each step, the state of the fuzzy controller is also written to the output (console).
• V – toggle drawing graphs to illustrate the operation of controller rules.
• Q – exit from the program.
• Arrows (↑↓→←) and spacebar ( ) – vehicle control when the keyboard controller is active.

To-do

• Faster updating visualization - might be possible, but requires a lot of work:
  • Try update plot instead full redo, see:

    • https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16120801/matplotlib-animate-fill-between-shape
  • Current solution: matplotlib.backends.backend_agg, and drawing into pygame RGBA buffer
  • pygame-matplotlib backend seems to yield no improvement - lionel42/pygame-matplotlib-backend#3
• Track lap time to score model
