Orig Description
Problem J: Cave Explorer
Mike Smith is a man exploring caves all over the world.
One day, he faced a scaring creature blocking his way. He got scared, but in short time he took
his knife and then slashed it to attempt to kill it. Then they were split into parts, which soon
died out but the largest one. He slashed the creature a couple of times more to make it small
enough, and finally became able to go forward.
Now let us think of his situation in a mathematical way. The creature is considered to be a
polygon, convex or concave. Mike slashes this creature straight with his knife in some direction.
We suppose here the direction is given for simpler settings, while the position is arbitrary. Then
all split parts but the largest one disappears.
Your task is to write a program that calculates the area of the remaining part when the creature
is slashed in such a way that the area is minimized.
Input
The input is a sequence of datasets. Each dataset is given in the following format:
n
vx vy
x1 y1
...
xn yn
The first line contains an integer n, the number of vertices of the polygon that represents the
shape of the creature (3 ≤ n ≤ 100). The next line contains two integers vx and vy, where
(vx, vy) denote a vector that represents the direction of the knife (-10000 ≤ vx, vy ≤ 10000,
vx2 + vy2 > 0). Then n lines follow. The i-th line contains two integers xi and yi, where (xi, yi)
denote the coordinates of the i-th vertex of the polygon (0 ≤ xi, yi ≤ 10000).
The vertices are given in the counterclockwise order. You may assume the polygon is always
simple, that is, the edges do not touch or cross each other except for end points.
The input is terminated by a line with a zero. This should not be processed.
Output
For each dataset, print the minimum possible area in a line. The area may be printed with
an arbitrary number of digits after the decimal point, but should not contain an absolute error
greater than 10-2.

Extracted Specification
An integer \( n \) (3 ≤ \( n \) ≤ 100), representing some quantity or size.

A list of \( n \) pairs of integers, where each pair (xi, yi) represents coordinates (0 ≤ \( xi, yi \) ≤ 10000).
The input is terminated by a line with a zero.

### Function Signature:
Write a function f(inputs) that takes in the input.
```python

```
Test Case Generator
Sure! To generate test cases for the "Cave Explorer" problem, we need to consider the constraints provided in the problem statement. Here’s a Python function that can generate randomized test cases:
```python
import random
def generate_polygon(n):
"""Generate a simple polygon with n vertices."""
# Start with a random point
points = [(random.randint(0, 10000), random.randint(0, 10000))]
for _ in range(n - 1):
next_point = (points[-1][0] + random.randint(1, 1000), points[-1][1] + random.randint(1, 1000))
next_point = (min(next_point[0], 10000), min(next_point[1], 10000)) # Ensure points are within bounds
points.append(next_point)
# Ensure the polygon is simple by returning points in counterclockwise order
points = sorted(points, key=lambda point: (point[0], point[1]))
return points
def tcgen():
datasets = []
while True:
n = random.randint(3, 100)
vx = random.randint(-10000, 10000)
vy = random.randint(-10000, 10000)
while vx == 0 and vy == 0:
vx = random.randint(-10000, 10000)
vy = random.randint(-10000, 10000)
vertices = generate_polygon(n)
dataset = f"{n}\n{vx} {vy}\n"
for (x, y) in vertices:
dataset += f"{x} {y}\n"
datasets.append(dataset)
# Randomly decide to stop adding more datasets
if random.choice([True, False]):
break
datasets.append("0\n")
return "\n".join(datasets)
# Example usage to generate a test case
print(tcgen())
```
### Explanation
1. **generate_polygon(n)**:
- Generates a simple polygon with `n` vertices. The vertices are generated in a way that ensures the polygon is simple and in counterclockwise order.
2. **tcgen()**:
- Generates multiple datasets.
- For each dataset:
- Randomly determines the number of vertices `n`.
- Randomly generates the direction vector `(vx, vy)` ensuring it's non-zero.
- Generates a list of vertices for the polygon.
- Each dataset is formatted as a string and added to the list of datasets.
- Randomly decides whether to stop adding more datasets to simulate multiple datasets in one test case.
- Appends a termination line `"0\n"`.
### Sample Output
The function prints out a generated test case, which can be used directly in a competitive programming environment for testing the "Cave Explorer" problem.
