The Marine Biology Case Study was too complicated hard to extend beyond fish Goals for new case study Reuse part of the Marine Biology Case Study Have fewer classes Be easier to extend Be rich enough for a variety of exam questions Set-up Add gridworld.jar to the classpath in your IDE So that Java can find the classes in GridWorld In DrJava click on Edit and then Preferences Then click on the add button and add gridworld.jar Then click apply Exit and start DrJava again Chapter 1: Intro to GridWorld Open BugRunner.java In projects/firstProject Run the main method Click the step button Click on an empty grid cell and create a rock in front of the bug Click on the Step button Click on a bug Get a menu of methods Click on a method to invoke it Click on a flower and a rock too Exercise Set 1 Does the bug always move to a new location?
