# Robot Simulator
|
|
|
|
Welcome to Robot Simulator on Exercism's Gleam Track.
|
|
If you need help running the tests or submitting your code, check out `HELP.md`.
|
|
|
|
## Instructions
|
|
|
|
Write a robot simulator.
|
|
|
|
A robot factory's test facility needs a program to verify robot movements.
|
|
|
|
The robots have three possible movements:
|
|
|
|
- turn right
|
|
- turn left
|
|
- advance
|
|
|
|
Robots are placed on a hypothetical infinite grid, facing a particular direction (north, east, south, or west) at a set of {x,y} coordinates,
|
|
e.g., {3,8}, with coordinates increasing to the north and east.
|
|
|
|
The robot then receives a number of instructions, at which point the testing facility verifies the robot's new position, and in which direction it is pointing.
|
|
|
|
- The letter-string "RAALAL" means:
|
|
- Turn right
|
|
- Advance twice
|
|
- Turn left
|
|
- Advance once
|
|
- Turn left yet again
|
|
- Say a robot starts at {7, 3} facing north.
|
|
Then running this stream of instructions should leave it at {9, 4} facing west.
