Red vs. Blue: Darwin Style
10 Points
namespaces
Instructions
Management are starting to apply Darwinian principles to the Remote Control Car project exercise:csharp/remote-control-competition. The developers have been split into two teams, Red and Blue, and are tasked with improving the design independently of each other. They don't need to concern themselves with design decisions of the other team.
You have been asked to take a look at the code and see how you can best combine the two efforts for testing purposes.
1. Find a more appropriate way of isolating the code of the two teams
Please use namespaces to better express the intention of the code.
Currently, important types like Motor and Telemetry, not to mention RemoteControlCar itself, are nested within an enclosing static class, <Color>RemoteControlCarTeam. The only purpose of the enclosing class is to allow types with the same name to coexist in the program. That is better expressed by using a namespace. You will see in the next exercise that, for these purposes, a namespace has advantages over a static class.
2. Simplify the naming system
Whilst management are adamant that the teams should be called RedRemoteControlCarTeam and BlueRemoteControlCarTeam in the definitions, the names are rather cumbersome when referencing the teams. Find a way to use the shorter identifiers Red and Blue when building the cars.
