Mood Thieves

Description

Mood thieves roam the streets. As soon as they spot someone in a good mood, they immediately steal that good mood and disappear to the laboratory, where they transform the stolen mood into illegal chewing gum.

There are K thieves involved in this operation. There are indistinguishable resources S for mood theft equipment available, as well as a Laboratory with N indistinguishable workstations. A thief takes 1 piece of equipment, then randomly travels around the city for a certain amount of time. Randomly, they may encounter someone in a good mood, and in that case, they occupy 1 workstation in the laboratory. The equipment is not immediately released after use - it is set aside and takes some time to regain its power before returning to the pool of available resources.

mood-thieves's Issues

Enhance the algorithm

In the current version of the algorithm, there's only one critical section without an option to define the number of 'thieves' that could enter it.

The task is to evolve the algorithm to handle multiple users in a critical section and add a 'laboratory' (second) critical area.

Create initial implementation using Lamport's algorithm

The task is to declare and implement all the essential tools needed for performing Lamport's algorithm.

The project should be divided into:

• Utils header containing useful structs/types/methods
• Thieves containing the implementation of the thieves
• Main.cpp file containing a function to start the program

Project should be completely compatible with the CMake build system.

Add initial implementation of the algorithm
