• Purpose

  • To establish familiarity with conditional statements

• Objective

  • Modify the Greep class to collect Tomato objects and return them to the Spaceship while avoiding Water and obstacles.

• Description

  • Your task is to program the Greep to collect as many Tomato as possible.
  • You may ONLY CHANGE THE GREEP class.
  • You may not change any other class.

• Getting oriented

  • Please view the javadocs for this project to get better acquainted with the object orientation
    • the Creature class is the abstract superclass of the Greep class.
    • the Greep is a concrete subclass of the Creature class.
    • the GreepSpit is a composite child of Greep. It is the permissible only communication mechanism by Greeps.
    • the TomatoPile is where Greep gather resources. A Greep cannot retrieve from a TomatoPile unless another Greep is there to load it onto the other Greep present at the same TomatoPile.

• Development Constraints

  1. Only change the class Greep. No other classes may be modified or created.
  2. No additional fields. You cannot extend the Greep memory.
     • you are not allowed to add fields to the class (except final fields).
     • You can use the one byte memory that is provided.
  3. You cannot move more than once per act round.
  4. You cannot communicate directly with other Greep.
     • That is: no field accesses or method calls to other Greep objects are allowed.
     • Greep can communicate indirectly via the GreepSpit on the ground.
  5. No long vision.
     • You are allowed to look at the world only at the immediate location of the Greep.
     • Greep are almost blind, and cannot look any further.
  6. No instantiating Actor subclasses.
     • Actor subclasses, such as Greep or GreepSpit, cannot be instantiated. Greep have no magic powers - they cannot create things out of nothing.
  7. No teleporting.
     • Methods from Actor that cheat normal movement (such as setLocation) may not be used.

Background

• This application is built using the Jfoot library.
