                Please write an AIDL program to generate a city skyline

Creating a city skyline model with various buildings of different shapes and sizes can be a fun and visually interesting project. Let's outline the steps for generating this model using AIDL.

### Steps
1. **Create Structure for the skyline**
2. **Generate a few unique building Solid structures**: Rectangular and perhaps a triangular or circular building.
3. **Create instances of these buildings with different dimensions and arrange them in the skyline**
4. **Add holes for windows and doors**
5. **Position the buildings relative to each other in an aesthetically pleasing way**

Let's dive into coding this:

```python
from AIDL import *

def city_skyline(
        num_buildings: int = 7,
        base_height: float = 2*inches, 
        height_variance: float = 3*inches, 
        building_width: float = 1*inches,
        width_variance: float = 0.5*inches
):
    """

    Buildings will be randomly varied in height and width, and positioned side-by-side.
    """
    from random import uniform, choice

    skyline = Assembly()
    
    # Define different building shapes
    def create_rectangular_building(height, width):
        building = Solid()
        building.body = Rectangle((0,0), width, height)
        return building

    def create_triangular_building(height, width):
        building = Solid()
        building.body = Triangle((0,0), width, height)
        return building
    
    def create_circular_building(height, width):
        radius = width / 2
        building = Solid()
        building.body = Circle((0, height - radius), radius)
        return building
    
    # Generate the buildings and position them side-by-side
    current_x = 0
    building_types = [create_rectangular_building, create_triangular_building, create_circular_building]
    for i in range(num_buildings):
        height = base_height + uniform(0, height_variance)
        width = building_width + uniform(-width_variance, width_variance)
        building_type = choice(building_types)
        building_structure = building_type(height, width)
        skyline[f'building_{i}'] = building_structure
        building_structure.shift = (current_x, 0)
        current_x += width

    return skyline

with AIDL_2D:
    model = city_skyline()
print(model.Solve())
model.Render()
```

### Explanation:
1. **Imports and Function Definition**:
    - Start by importing the AIDL library.
    - Define the `city_skyline` function with parameters for the number of buildings, their base height, height variance, their width, and width variance.

2. **Building Geometry and Types**:
    - Define three types of buildings: rectangular, triangular, and circular, each with their own function to create the geometries as Solid structures.

3. **Generate and Position Buildings**:
    - Use a loop to create the specified number of buildings. Heights and widths are varied using the `uniform` function for randomness within specified ranges.
    - Randomly select a building shape for each building.
    - Position each building next to the previous one by updating `current_x`.

4. **Assembly Structure**:
    - `skyline` is an Assembly structure that holds all the buildings positioned side-by-side.
    - Attach each building to the `skyline` assembly.

5. **Render the Model**:
    - Define the AIDL_2D context, create the model, solve, and render it using the provided snippet.

Feel free to customize parameters and add more details (e.g., windows, doors) as needed. This model gives a simple but effective skyline representation. Let me know if you need any changes or additional features!

TypeError: 'Assembly' object does not support item assignment


It looks like I made an error in assigning buildings to the `skyline` Assembly. Assemblies do not support item assignment as I tried to use. Instead, buildings should be added as children of the Assembly by setting their `shift` property directly.

Let's correct that.

### Updated Code:

```python
from AIDL import *

def city_skyline(
        num_buildings: int = 7,
        base_height: float = 2*inches, 
        height_variance: float = 3*inches, 
        building_width: float = 1*inches,
        width_variance: float = 0.5*inches
):
    """

    Buildings will be randomly varied in height and width, and positioned side-by-side.
    """
    from random import uniform, choice

    skyline = Assembly()
    
    # Define different building shapes
    def create_rectangular_building(height, width):
        building = Solid()
        building.body = Rectangle((0,0), width, height)
        return building

    def create_triangular_building(height, width):
        building = Solid()
        building.body = Triangle((0,0), width, height)
        return building
    
    def create_circular_building(height, width):
        radius = width / 2
        building = Solid()
        building.body = Circle((0, height - radius), radius)
        return building
    
    # Generate the buildings and position them side-by-side
    current_x = 0
    building_types = [create_rectangular_building, create_triangular_building, create_circular_building]
    for i in range(num_buildings):
        height = base_height + uniform(0, height_variance)
        width = building_width + uniform(-width_variance, width_variance)
        building_type = choice(building_types)
        building_structure = building_type(height, width)

        # Set the shift to position buildings side by side
        building_structure.shift = (current_x, 0)
        current_x += width

        # Link the building to the skyline structure
        setattr(skyline, f'building_{i}', building_structure)

    return skyline

with AIDL_2D:
    model = city_skyline()
print(model.Solve())
model.Render()
```

In this updated code:
1. **Fix the Assignment**:
    - Replace the `skyline[f'building_{i}'] = building_structure` line with `setattr(skyline, f'building_{i}', building_structure)`, which correctly assigns the buildings as children of the `skyline` Assembly.

2. **Set Shifts Properly**:
    - Each building's `shift` property is set directly to position them side-by-side in the skyline.

Now this code should correctly generate the city skyline with a variety of building shapes. Let me know if there are any other features or modifications you would like to add!
