Ruins of Atlantis

Topics Covered

  • Ruins of Atlantis Overview

Virtual World Overview

Your mission is to explore the ruins, 6,000 meters below the surface of the ocean, collecting data and treasure as you do. Be sure to use your treasure map and the in-game measurement tools to apply mathematical solutions to your robot programming.

Choose any of the three robot models and fully explore the path in Ruins of Atlantis, collecting all five blue gems on the way.

You just saw how to comment your code and some different examples of how comments can be utilized. When programming your robot to travel through the ruins, pay careful attention to how you are adding comments to your code. Remember, you should not be using guess-and-check to program your robot to move and turn. Instead, you should be mathematizing your solutions by explaining the math behind why you programmed your robot to move and/or turn a certain amount of rotations.

Also, comments should be placed in your program that describe the behavior of the robot or outcome for each portion of your code. These comments should present the framework of how you are solving the Ruins of Atlantis.
