    The document provides an overview of common objects and methods needed to program a penguin's movements and interactions in a virtual ice world. It describes how penguins, fish, and other objects exist within the borders of an ice world map. It then details the different ways to instantiate a penguin object, including the penguin's starting position and number of fish. Next, it lists compass directions, relative directions, and action methods like moving and grabbing fish. Finally, it explains boolean methods for detecting what is in front, behind, and around the penguin, such as walls, water, rocks, other penguins, and fish. Cautions are provided about some boolean methods and the effects of a penguin interacting with different objects

    Overview of most common objects and methods needed for keeping your penguin in good health (ie

    not running into walls or other things that don't have a good effect on your penguin)

    Penguin Instantiation
    Relative Directions
    Compass Directions
    Action Methods
    Boolean Methods (with some gotchas, at least read this one over once)

    I) Penjee's World
    Penguins, fish, and other objects exist inside an ice world. The borders of this world are "walls"
    of ice. If your Penguin tries to move outside the map, the penguin will hit the ice wall and become
    disabled. So, be kind to your Penguin and don't hit the outer walls! (We'll show you all sorts of neat tricks
    later on how to do this like a programmer.)

    (continue to see Penguin Instantiation)

    II) Penguin Instantiation


    A. Penguin()
    The default constructor places a Penguin in row 0, column 0, facing east, with 0 fish and looks
    something like:
    Code

    Map

    B. Penguin(compass_direction)
    Passing a single compass direction will instantiate a penguin at row 0, column 0, facing in
    compass_direction, with 0 fish
    Example Code

    Map

    C. Penguin(num_fish)
    Passing a single integer will instantiate a penguin at row 0, column 0, facing East, with num_fish
    fish
    Example Code

    Map

    D. Penguin( _row , _col)


    Passing two integers will instantiate a penguin at row _row, column _col , facing East, with 0 fish.
    Example Code

    Map

    E. Penguin( _row , _col, num_fish)


    Passing three integers will instantiate a penguin at row _row, column _col , facing East, with num_fish
    fish
    Example Code

    Map

    F. Penguin( _row , _col, num_fish)


    Passing three integers will instantiate a penguin at row _row, column _col , facing East, with num_fish
    fish.
    Example Code

    II) Compass Directions


    a. east
    b. west
    c. north
    d. south

    Map

    IV) Relative Directions


    a. ahead
    b. left
    c. right
    d. here
    Warning. By relative, we mean that left is based on the penguin's current compass direction.

    V) Action Methods
    a. waddle()
    Penguin attempts to move the penguin forward one position.
    b. grab()
    Penguin picks up a fish-- if the penguin is on top of a fish. Note: Calling grab() on an
    empty cell (ie one without a fish) has no effect.
    c. drop()
    Penguin drops a fish onto its current cell.
    d. giveFish()
    Penguin transfers a fish to a second penguin.
