Elevator Simulator Evaluation Project

Project Overview

This repository contains an elevator simulator implementation created as part of an evaluation benchmark for testing various coding tools and models. The project serves as a standardized task to evaluate the capabilities of different AI coding assistants and development tools.

The simulator implements a multi-floor elevator system with visual representation, providing a practical scenario for assessing code generation, architectural design, and implementation skills.

Elevator Simulator Requirements

The elevator simulator implements the following features:

• Floor Controls: Up/down buttons on each floor to request elevator service
• Elevator Controls: Floor selection buttons inside the elevator cabin
• Visual Representation: Animated display showing elevators moving between floors
• Realistic Behavior: Proper elevator logic including door operations, movement timing, and request queuing

Technology Stack

• Frontend: HTML5, CSS3 (with animations)
• Logic: TypeScript
• No Framework Dependencies: Pure implementation without external libraries

Model Outputs

The /outputs folder contains the results from different coding tools and models used to generate implementations of the elevator simulator.

Naming Convention

All outputs follow the naming pattern <tool>_<model> where:

• tool represents the coding assistant or development tool used
• model represents the specific AI model or version used

Examples

• kilo_minimax-m2 (minimax m2 model using kilo code)
• cursor_claude-sonnet-45 (claude sonnet 4.5 using cursor)

Evaluation Details

This project serves as a benchmark for evaluating:

• Code generation capabilities
• Understanding of state management
• Implementation of algorithms and logic
• UI/UX implementation skills
• Code organization and architecture

The original evaluation prompt can be found in PROMPT.md.

Implementation Notes

The simulator implements a realistic elevator algorithm that:

• Processes requests in an efficient manner
• Handles multiple simultaneous requests
• Shows visual feedback for elevator movement
• Manages door open/close operations
• Tracks elevator state (moving, idle, door open/closed)

Customization

You can modify the following parameters in the TypeScript code:

• Number of floors
• Number of elevators
• Elevator speed
• Door operation timing

Browser Support

The simulator works in all modern browsers that support:

• ES6 JavaScript features
• CSS animations
• Modern DOM APIs

Tested browsers:

• Chrome 70+
• Firefox 65+
• Safari 12+
• Edge 79+

Development

To modify the simulator:

1. Edit script.ts for logic changes
2. Update style.css for visual changes
3. Modify index.html for structural changes

TypeScript compilation (if modifying):

tsc script.ts --outDir .
