Mars Rover Challenge

My implementation of the Mars Rover Challenge as described here: https://code.google.com/archive/p/marsrovertechchallenge/

To run the project

Download the source, and either:

  • open it in Visual Studio and press F5 to launch the console, or
  • open a command prompt in the ControlPanel folder, and type dotnet run

Entering Commands

Start by entering the grid size with two integers, separated by a [space], representing the width and height of the plateau, respectively. Follow the above with any number of command-pairs, where:

  • the first entry in the pair refers to the position and heading of the rover to receive the command string.
  • the second entry in the pair represents a string of commands to send to the rover.

Valid Commands

  • M Move forward one grid position in the direction the rover is facing
  • L Spin the rover one compass ordinal direction to the left without changing grid position
  • R Spin the rover one compass ordinal direction to the right without changing grid position

Rules Implemented

  • A move command that will cause a rover to move off the edge of the plateau will be ignored.
  • A move command that will cause a rover to collide with another rover will be ignored.
  • A command addressing a rover that is off the plateau will be ignored.
