Description
In this project, you will produce a Boat application. Each Boat has the following attributes: name, speed, angle, and power. The Boat names should be read from a text file “boats.txt”. You can assume there will be a maximum of 100 boats in the file. For testing, use the following boat names in the boats.txt file:
Sea Monkey
Backdraft
Cast Away
Nautifish
Destiny
The application should be able to accept commands from the user. The user has to provide the commands in the following format:
<Boat name>, <command>
Example:
Sea Monkey, power on
Sea Monkey, turn left
Sea Monkey, speed up
The acceptable commands are the following (Any other command should be considered invalid):
Command
Description
power on
power up the boat
power off
power off the boat
speed up
increases the boat speed by the minimum speed increment 2 mph
slow down
decreases the boat speed by the minimum speed decrement 2 mph
turn left
turns the boat to the left by the minimum left turn degree 5 deg
turn right
turns the boat to the right by the minimum right turn degree 5 deg
After each command is entered and executed, the state of the boat should be displayed. For Example:
User Enters>> Sea Monkey, power on
Program output>> Sea Monkey is pointing in the direction of 0 deg.
User Enters>> Sea Monkey, turn right
Program output>> Sea Monkey is in 5 deg angle.
User Enters>> Sea Monkey, speed up
Program output >> Sea Monkey is moving in 5 deg angle at the speed of 2 mph.
User Enters>> Sea Monkey, power off
Program output >> Sea Monkey is powered off.
Error checking:
If the user enters an invalid command, a message should be displayed that the command was invalid.
If the user enters a boat name that does not exist, a message should be displayed that the boat not does not exist.
If the user enters a command that is not in the correct format (boatname, command), a message should be displayed that the command format is invalid.
