The application is a simulation of a toy robot moving on a square tabletop, of dimensions 5 units x 5 units. There are no other obstructions on the table surface. The robot is free to roam around the table's surface but must be prevented from falling to destruction. Any movement that would result in the robot falling from the table must be prevented, however further valid movement commands must still be allowed.
The software is built using Java 19. It is recomended to import the codebase into IntelliJ for running tests, as Maven only has been configured for building the tests, not executing them.
javac -sourcepath ./src/ -d ./out/ src/Main.java
cd out
