Toy Robot

A simple but awesome toy robot simulator. Robot will be simulated on a 5x5 table.

Setup

If you have RVM installed, this project will automatically create a gemset for you. You'll need to install bundler if it is not yet installed: $ gem install bundler.

If bundler is already installed, install the gems by running bundle install.

How To Run

There's a ruby script in the root directory called simulate.rb. Run that like a normal shell script: $ ./simulate.rb. It'll prompt you to enter commands.

The following commands are accepted:

• PLACE - Places robot on the table based on given position. Requires parameters in this format: x,y,direction. Example: PLACE 1,3,NORTH.
• MOVE - Moves the robot 1 unit depending on where the robot is currently facing.
• LEFT - Rotates the robot 90 degrees to the left.
• RIGHT - Rotates the robot 90 degrees to the right.
• REPORT - Prints out current position of the robot.
• EXIT - Exits the simulator.

MOVE, LEFT, RIGHT, and REPORT commands will be ignored if the PLACE command has never been entered. The robot can be re-placed by inputting PLACE command again. Commands that will make the robot fall off the table will also be ignored.

Tests

You can run the unit tests by executing bundle exec rspec. Acceptance test can be run by executing bundle exec cucumber.
