Spacetaxi

It's dangerous to go alone! Take this

This piece of technology will help you navigate between the explored systems using the established space highways.

How to run?

You will need Maven3 and Java13 installed on your space cruiser (the only allowed technologies decided by the council).

Execute mvn clean install inside this directory. As soon as the build finishes you should be able to run it with the taxi command. If you are not able to execute taxi you are probably running an unauthorized operation system on your space cruiser. In that case you could try java -jar target\spacetaxi-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar and hope that the council will not detect your disobedience.

Being successful you should see the help and further usage information displayed.

Features

• You can lookup if your desired route is valid and how long it will take via the taxi route command. Example:

  • taxi route "Solar System -> Sirius"

• You can search for valid routes between two systems. There are multiple command to find the desired routes

  • Search by shortest travel time: taxi shortest "Alpha Centauri" Betelgeuse
  • Search by exact amounts of stops: taxi exact --value 4 Sirius Sirius
  • Search by maximum stops or travel time: taxi max --type=time --value 29 Sirius Sirius

As already mentioned you can use the help system to see a more options and explanation taxi --help.

Assumptions

The current interstellar highway structure only supports travel time in full hours, as a experience space traveller should know.
