The objective is to find the optimum path while moving across a grid from left to right.
The mobile-app is built in Xamarin.Forms (which implements a custom renderer for MatrixCell which is basically an extended Entry control).
For async operations, we are using TPL for building/calculating paths in a background thread; and async-await for context switching.
| Section | Projects | Description |

| Contracts | XCC.Contracts |
Specifies contract to be adhered to while implementing components. |
| Utilities | XCC.Utilities |
Contains implementation for various components such as input-parser(s), and path-builder(s). |
| Data | XCC.Data |
Acts as source for sets of data representing sample input and expected output. Mostly used for unit-tests, and loading data in demo app. |
| Console runner | ConsoleSandbox |
Terminal based sandbox app for taking in input and displaying output. |
| Automated tests | XCC.Utilities.Tests |
Unit tests for components such as input-parser(s), and path-builder(s). |
| Mobile App | XCC.DemoApp, XCC.DemoApp.Android, XCC.DemoApp.iOS |
Mobile app as GUI for path-builder. |
-
Use automated unit tests
NUnitconsole/IDE runners can be used to test the components. All of the unit tests are available inXCC.Utilities.Testsproject. -
Use console application
Set
ConsoleSandboxas startup project, and run.
-
Use mobile app
Set
XCC.DemoApp.AndroidorXCC.DemoApp.iOSas startup project, and run. You can either use an hardcoded sample, or manually input values (upto 10x10 grid).
