Java Rover app

Usage:

To run the application, you need to have Java installed on your machine (JRE or JDK compatible with Java 21). You can run the application using the following command:

java -jar rover.jar input.txt

How to build the application:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/fvrobles/java-rover-app.git
   

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd ./java-rover-app
   

3. Build the project using Maven 3.9.7 and Java 21:

    mvn clean package
   

4. The JAR file will be created in the target directory, named rover.jar.

Input file format:

The first line of input is the upper-right coordinates of the plateau, the lower-left coordinates are assumed to be 0,0.

The rest of the input is information pertaining to the rovers that have been deployed. Each rover has two lines of input. The first line gives the rover's position, and the second line is a series of instructions telling the rover how to explore the plateau.

The position is made up of two integers and a letter separated by spaces, corresponding to the x and y co-ordinates and the rover's orientation.

Each rover will be finished sequentially, which means that the second rover won't start to move until the first one has finished moving.
