Bug Buster

Bug Buster is an implementation of a shape recognition exercise for ASCII art shapes.

Task Description

Given a bug specification

| |
###O
| |

the program should be able to spot three bugs in this landscape:

| |                                
###O                               
| |           | |                  
              ###O                 
              | |              | | 
                               ###O
                               | | 

Whitespaces are not part of the bug specification, hence these fields could contain other symbols in more complicated landscapes.

Example Invocation

$ python main.py test-res/bug.txt test-res/landscape.txt 
3

Running The Tests

$ python tests.py

The task solved by Bug Buster is similar to Bliffoscope, which seems to be sort of an developer job interview exercise.

See StackOverflow question and an implementation on GitHub.
