#seat-code-mowers Application

• Current Version: 1.0-SNAPSHOT

#Main purpose:

This application is created to navigate the SEAT Mowers through the green grass plateau in order to cut the grass and get a complete view of the surrounding terrain with their on-board cameras to send this information to the SEAT Maintenance Office.

#How to execute the application?

It can be easily executed through the command line in terminal.

Steps to execute:

• Create the input file following the necessary structure for this application. Can be found an example file in the project root directory with name input.txt

  • First line should contain a pair or integer numbers with the grid information size for X and Y axis, separate by space. Example: 5 5
  • Following lines should contain the mower information. First line with the mowers position, and second line with the movements for the mower.
    • Example:
      • line 1: 1 2 N
      • line 2: LMLMLMLMM

• To execute the application, open a terminal and go to the root directory. Then execute the following command:

    java -jar target\mower-control-1.0-SNAPSHOTa.jar [INPUT_FILE_PATH]
  

  • Where the [INPUT_FILE_PATH] should be the path to the input file with the mowers information. For example:

    java -jar target/seat-code-mowers-1.0-SNAPSHOT-shaded.jar input.txt
    

#How to build the application?

• This application was build with Maven.

• To rebuild the .jar file, it can be done through terminal, pointing to the root directory and executing the command:

    mvn clean install
  

#Assumptions:

• If a mower tries to move to a busy coordinate (there is a mower already placed in this coordinate), the movement won't be effectively done and it will be omitted. Nevertheless, the rest of the movements will be evaluated and applied if possible.
• The input file cannot contain two or more mowers in the same starting position.
• Grid size cannot be bigger than 2.147.483.648 (Max. value for Integers in Java language).
• Assumed the bottom-left coordinates for grid are 0,0. So, coordinates cannot be a negative value.
• Valid values for movements are: L,R,M.
• Valid values for cardinal points are: N,S,E,W.
• Exception will be thrown if a mower tries to move out of the grid size.
• Exception will be thrown if the file is not following the correct structure.
