An application coded in ruby using a MVC model of organisation. The application runs a toy robot on a table top, issuing commands using a CLI interface.
This is built with ruby version 2.6.3. Check what version you have with
ruby -v
You will also need to have Bundler installed. You can check to see if it is installed with bundle -v
To install bundler, use the following command - gem install bundler
Once ruby is installed on your machine, navigate to the main directory and install the dependencies using bundler
bundle install
This should install rspec on to your machine. Rspec is used for testing the code.
Navigate on your machine to the main directory of this and run the program with the command -
ruby app.rb
This is the command line interface for the robot.
- PLACE X,Y,DIRECTION
- MOVE
- LEFT
- RIGHT
- REPORT
- You must first place the robot down correctly before you can move or report on the robot, with the PLACE command. For example
PLACE 0,0,NORTH
- The robot can be placed on a 5x5 tabletop grid. The South West corner is (0,0), and the North East corner is (4,4)
- The robot is also placed facing either NORTH, SOUTH, EAST or WEST
- Once placed, the robot can take other commands, including additional place commands.
- MOVE will move the robot one unit forward in the direction it's facing
- LEFT and RIGHT will rotate the robot 90 degrees without moving it's position.
- REPORT will announce the X, Y and direction the robot is facing.
EXIT or QUIT will exit out of the program.
You can test the robot by navigating to the main directory of this program and running the command
