Set-up Instructions

• Clone this gist to your computer
  • git clone git+ssh://git@gist.github.com/1c23f58f33c0040853556dee4051d752.git rover-node
  • cd rover-node
• Move rover_test.js in to a folder named test in the same directory as rover.js to start
  • mkdir test
  • mv rover_test.js test
• Install dependencies (mocha, for running tests)
  • npm install
• Run the tests to verify that everything's set up correctly
  • mocha test/rover_test.js

Build Instructions

We're going to build the API for a Mars rover using a test-driven approach. Some things that the rover could do:

* know which compass direction it is facing
* know where it is relative to its landing position
* move forward
* turn left and right
* follow a list of single-character commands (f,l,r)
* move backward (b)
* sense whether there is an obstacle
* refuse to move forward if the path is blocked
* anything else you think would be interesting
