this is a script for simulating a object with a direction that can move in said direction

demo:

#this is a demo program

try:
    while(True):
        smturn("right")
        print(displayCurrentPlace(currentX, currentY, currentDirection))
        sleep(0.5)
        for i in range(11): 
            smforward(1)
            print(displayCurrentPlace(currentX, currentY, currentDirection))
            sleep(0.1)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    print("X: ",currentX," Y: ",currentY)
    print("pointing at ", currentDirection)

functions:

turn():

turnes the object by 90 degrees clockwise or counterclockwise
arguments should be: "CC/CW", the current direction
returns: the new direction ("up" , "down" , "left" , "right")

forward():

adds or subtracts an amount based on the inputed steps to/from X and Y 
(moving the object in the direction that is's looking in)
arguments: the current X, the current Y, the current direction, a number of steps
returns: the new x,y

smturn():

simplifies the turn command by removing the need for inputing the current direction
requires the turn() function to work, requires a variable named "currentDirection" to work
arguments: "left"/"right"
variables required to work: currentDirction
functions required to work: turn()

returns: 0

smforward():

simplifies the turn command by removing the need for inputing anything other than the amount
of steps that is going to be taken.
arguments: int
variables required to work: currentX, currentX, currentDirection
functions required to work: forward()
returns: 0

displayCurrentPlace():

⚠️ WARNING! the code for this function needs some improvements

makes a 20x20 "screen" that will display the place and direction of the object.
arguments:
variables needed to work: currentX, currentX, currentDirection
returns: 0

variables:

currentX:           the current position of the object on the X axis
currentY:           the current position of the object on the Y axis
currentDirection:   the current direction of the object ("up","down","left","right")
