Exercise 1

Shakey will do whatever you tell him to do, within his limited abilities.

Launch the Shakey applet and this is what you'll see.

Click on the command buttons and see how Shakey reacts. You should see the corresponding instructions, along with descriptive comments, appear in the text window.

Some actions will produce errors. Try stepping Shakey into a wall, or picking up an item from an empty square.

Q. 3
What happens in the text window when Shakey encounters an error? Is the offending instruction included in the program?
