Hi,
I am working for a heritage railway in the Shunting department. I am thinking of writing a program to help us plot the moves.
A typical move would be (see photo)
Loco moves from siding 3 to siding 1
Connects to Coach in siding 1
Reverses to siding 3
Moves to siding 2
Disconnects coach
Moves to siding 3
In doing so, the coach has been moved from siding 1 to 2.
What I want to achieve is to be able to drag and drop the locos and coaches in a graphics format, with the subsequent moves documented and output in a list similar to above.
Can anyone recommend which programming language would be best?
Can it be done in Python, would using Unity be better or are there better options?
Thanks
