The Toy Alchemist (workshop)

”The Toy Robot” is an interview exercise where you build a simulation of a toy robot moving around a square tabletop through a series of move commands. You can’t let the robot fall off the board!

In the workshop, we will build this game using the Elixir language and functional programming paradigms. We are not going to jump right in but rather start with the basics of Elixir and build up from there. Get a deep head start!

The implementation can be found at https://github.com/jwright/toy_alchemist

Elixir needs more alchemists.
