# Robot Simulator
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.
## Running tests
Execute the tests with:
```bash
$ elixir bob_test.exs
```
(Replace `bob_test.exs` with the name of the test file.)
### Pending tests
In the test suites, all but the first test have been skipped.
Once you get a test passing, you can unskip the next one by
commenting out the relevant `@tag :pending` with a `#` symbol.
For example:
```elixir
# @tag :pending
test "shouting" do
assert Bob.hey("WATCH OUT!") == "Whoa, chill out!"
end
```
Or, you can enable all the tests by commenting out the
`ExUnit.configure` line in the test suite.
```elixir
# ExUnit.configure exclude: :pending, trace: true
```
