1. Test the setDirection method with the following inputs and complete the table, giving the compass direction each input represents.

Answer:

Degress	Compass Direction
0	North
45	Northeast
90	East
135	Southeast
180	South
225	Southwest
270	West
315	Northwest
360	North

2. Move a bug to a different location using the moveTo method. In which directions can you move it? How far can you move it? What happens if you try to move the bug outside the grid?

Answer:

①When using the moveTo method, I can move a bug in any direction and distance as long as the destination is a empty cell in the grid. But the original direction of the bug does not change.

② If I try to move the bug outside the grid, a dialog will show up (throw java.lang.illegalArgumentException) and tell me that the location is invalid. And the bug will stay in its original location.

3. Change the color of a bug, a flower, and a rock. Which method did you use?

Answer:

Each of these actor has a setColor() method, which can change the color itself.

4. Move a rock on top of a bug and then move the rock again. What happened to the bug?

Answer:

①After a few attempts, I found that if I moved a rock above a bug, it would disappear from the grid.

② When the rock is moved to another cell, the previous cell remains empty, as if the bug has been removed from the grid.
