C# Programming I

Project 1

Project Name: Robot Car

Objectives:

• Create a menu-driven C# console application
• Create and utilize a user-defined class
• Utilize constructors to properly initialize an object’s state
• Demonstrate your ability to utilize multi-dimensional arrays
• Utilize class fields and methods
• Demonstrate sound identifier naming conventions.
• Demonstrate your ability to solve a complex programming problem
• Become familiar with the C# development environment

Task:

Write a C# application that controls the movements of a robot car around a
floor. The robot car will move about a “floor” represented by a two-dimensional
array. The floor array may be of type bool (boolean) or any other type you deem
appropriate. The robot car has a paint sprayer attached to its rear fender. As the car
moves about the floor it will leave a mark if the sprayer is on
but not if the sprayer is off.

Control the robot car with a simple text-based menu. You can make the car turn right, turn left and move forward a number of spaces. Your menu should
also allow a user to turn the paint sprayer on or off, print the floor pattern,
and exit the application.

Each time you move the car forward print the floor to show the car’s progress.
