The UCL first year Computer Science Principles of Programming C Coursework.
This piece of code was marked 72 out of 100, grade A.
The aim of the project is to let a robot collect the markers positioned on the graphical grid one after another, and carry them back home.
All the 6 stages required in the CCoursework.pdf are completed.
- JDK 21
- gcc
The markers and blocks position are read from markersPosition.txt and blocksPosition.txt, respectively.
Play around with the command-line and file input, full input validation is implemented.
To compile the code, use the command
fileName="MY_FILE_NAME"gcc -o $fileName graphics.c robot*.c
Assign a value to variable fileName, and you will create an executable file called MY_FILE_NAME.
To run the executable file, use the command
./$fileName 2 3 south | java -jar drawapp-3.0.jar
You can see the 3 positional arguments passed, that indicates the starting position and direction of the robot.
The first argument is the x coordinate. Note that x increments downwards in the grid.
The second argument is the y coordinate. Note that y increments to the right of the grid.
The third argument is the direction. Note that direction north is upwards the screen. It has to be one of these: "north", "east", "south" or "west"
