Toy Robo Simulator

Toy Robo Simulator is a command line application that simulates the movement of a toy robot, or robo, on a square table. Entering an interactive console, you have several commands to control the robo including PLACE, MOVE, LEFT, and RIGHT. It's like moving a character in a PRG game. Feel free to roam around.

gem install toy_robo_simulator

Since this is a standalone program, there is no need to install with a Gemfile.

robo

You should see a welcome message along with a command line prompt. Ready to move the robots!

PLACE
# Place a robo. Requires x, y, and orientation arguments. Arguments are separated by a white space.
# e.g. PLACE 2 5 NORTH

MOVE
# Move forward one space. e.g. Facing north will move the robo one unit toward north.

LEFT
# Turn left.

RIGHT
# Turn right.

REPORT
# Report current position and orientation.

HELP
# Display all available commands.

The commands are not case-sensitive. Either PLACE, Place or place will work.

However, several rules to follow:

• A robo must be placed on the table before any other commands.
• The robo cannot be placed out of the table.
• The robo is not allowed to move out the the table.

Entering the console, input:

00 > PLACE 2 1 NORTH
It is placed.

01 > MOVE
It moves forward.

02 > LEFT
It turns left.

03 > REPORT
Robo is now at (2,2) facing WEST

04 > MOVE
It moves forward.

05 > RIGHT
It turns right

06 > MOVE
It moves forward.

07 > REPORT
Robo is now at (1,3) facing NORTH

08 > exit

Thank You!
