This is a solution to Makers Academy's Airport Challenge. The original was written in Ruby, and can be found here. There is also a version in JavaScript
This solution uses a test-driven approach, with feature and unit tests implemented using the unittest library.
##Installation notes
The program was written having installed the Anaconda Python distribution. Python version 2.7.11 was used.
First a new environment should be created:
$ conda create --name snowflakes mock
This creates an environment called 'snowflakes', with the mock package installed.
To activate this environment:
- In Linux, OS X:
$ source activate snowflakes - In Windows:
$ activate snowflakes
To deactivate:
- In Linux, OS X:
$ source deactivate - In Windows:
$ deactivate
More information about environments can be found here.
Then, the repository should be cloned and the directory changed into:
$ git clone git@github.com:Andrew47/airport-Python.git
$ cd airport-Python
##Using the program
Open the python interpreter and import the modules:
$ python
>>> from app.airport import Airport
>>> from app.plane import Plane
Then an airport can be created by typing airport = Airport() and a plane by typing
plane = Plane() in the command line.
The plane can land at the airport (plane.land(airport)) and can take off (plane.take_off(airport)). Weather is randomly generated each time the plane
seeks to take off or to land. Stormy weather prevents take off or landing.
If plane.is_airborne returns True, the plane is in the air. If plane.is_airborne
returns False, the plane has landed.
The default airport capacity is 20. However, a new airport (airport1000) can be created
with this default overridden (airport1000 = Airport(1000)). Planes cannot be landed at
a full airport (airport.is_full() returns True).
##User Stories being met
As an air traffic controller
So I can get passengers to a destination
I want to instruct a plane to land at an airport and confirm that it has landed
As an air traffic controller
So I can get passengers on the way to their destination
I want to instruct a plane to take off from an airport and confirm that it is no longer in the airport
As an air traffic controller
To ensure safety
I want to prevent takeoff when weather is stormy
As an air traffic controller
To ensure safety
I want to prevent landing when weather is stormy
As an air traffic controller
To ensure safety
I want to prevent landing when the airport is full
As the system designer
So that the software can be used for many different airports
I would like a default airport capacity that can be overridden as appropriate
