Scavenger Hunt
Two Jeroos start at opposite ends of Long Island, one at (8,4) facing
EAST, and one at (10,18) facing WEST. Each Jeroo is supposed to pick two
flowers. The first one can be from anywhere along the edge of the island,
and the second must be the one in the center. The first one to pick the
center flower is declared the winner. There are a few rules to this scavenger
hunt.
• The Jeroos can only turn LEFT
• The Jeroos must take turns, each doing only 1 thing in each turn:
hop(), turn(LEFT), or pick().
• A Jeroo can only hop forward one space in its turn.
(Open the Long Island file in your JEROO folder.)
Predict which Jeroo will win the scavenger hunt. Save as ScavengerHunt.
