This code kata helps engineers practice skills related to SOLID Principles, TDD, Pair-Programming, and Software Design.
You’re part of the team that explores Mars by sending remotely controlled vehicles to the surface of the planet. Develop code and tests that translate the commands sent from earth to instructions that are understood by the rover.
- You are given the initial starting point (x,y) of a rover and the direction (N,S,E,W) it is facing.
- The rover receives a character array of commands.
- Implement commands that move the rover forward/backward (f,b).
- Implement commands that turn the rover left/right (l,r).
- Implement wrapping at edges. But be careful, planets are spheres.
- Implement obstacle detection before each move to a new square. If a given sequence of commands encounters an obstacle, the rover moves up to the last possible point, aborts the sequence and reports the obstacle.
