The application is a simulation of a toy robot moving on a square tabletop, of dimensions 5 units x 5 units.
- The robot is free to roam around the surface of the table, but must be prevented from falling to destruction.
- Any movement that would result in the robot falling from the table must be prevented, however further valid movement commands must still be allowed.
- PLACE will put the toy robot on the table in position X,Y and facing NORTH, SOUTH, EAST or WEST.
- The origin (0,0) can be considered to be the SOUTH WEST most corner.
- The first valid command to the robot is a PLACE command, after that, any sequence of commands may be issued, in any order, including another PLACE command. The application should discard all commands in the sequence until a valid PLACE command has been executed.
- MOVE will move the toy robot one unit forward in the direction it is currently facing.
- LEFT and RIGHT will rotate the robot 90 degrees in the specified direction without changing the position of the robot.
- Ruby 2.0.0
- Rspec 2.14.1
