The board is modeled over the first quadrant of a cartesian plan. The origin (0,0) is in the bottom left corner.

Board tiles coordinates are 0 based.

The turtle can't move outside of the board. Trying to do that will end the processing of the moves.

Run

dotnet restore
dotnet build

in the repository folder.

The binary will be in the

./TurtleChallenge/bin/debug/netcoreapp3.1

folder.

Settings file must be a json file with the following structure:

{
	"board": {
		"width": 4,
		"height": 6,
		"mines": [
			{ "x": 2, "y": 0},
			{ "x": 1, "y": 3},
			{ "x": 2, "y": 4},
			{ "x": 3, "y": 2}
		]
	},
	"startTile": {"x": 0, "y": 3},
	"exitTile": {"x": 3, "y": 1},
	"direction": "North"
}

Width must be a positive integer

Height must be a positive integer

Mines is a collection of Tiles. A Tile X and Y properties must be positive integers.

StartTile and EndTile are Tiles. A Tile X and Y properties must be positive integers.

The program validates the consistencty of the data provided (ranges, tiles must not overlap).

Sequence of moves are defined as a sequence of comma separated actions. Each line defines a sequence of moves.

r,r,m,m,r,r,r,m,m,m
m,r,m,r,r,r,m,r,m,m,r,m,m,r,m,r,r,r,m,m,r,r,r,m
m,r,m,m
r,r,r,m

Valid moves are:

• m : Move forward
• r : Turn right

Call the program executable passing two arguments, the name of the settings file and the name of the moves file.

The project includes a sample settings file and a sample moves file, named respectivle sampleSettings and sampleMoves

TurtleChallenge.exe sampleSettings sampleMoves

In case of valid parameters provided, for each sequence of moves the output will be one of the following text:

• Still in danger! (The turtle didn't hit any mine, didn't find the exit and is still on the board)
• BOOM! The turtle exploded. (The turtle hit a mine)
• The turtle found the exit and is safe! (The turtle found the exit without hitting any mine and without ever leaving the board)
• Uh oh, you took a wrong turn. (The turtle moved outside the board bounds)
