Week 1 @ Makers Academy

Introduction to Object Oriented Programming and Ruby

The Project

Designing a very simple clone of London's Boris Bikes program.

Classes

• Bike: Can be broken and fixed.
• Docking Station: Releases working bike to user, accepts returned bike from user, prevents user from releasing broken bike, releases broken bike to van, accepts fixed bike from van, and has a limited capacity of bikes it can hold.
• Van: takes broken bike from station, drops the broken bike to garage, takes fixed bike from garage, drops fixed bike to station, and has a limited capacity.
• Garage: accepts broken bikes from the van, fixes broken bike, returns fixed bike to van, and has a limited capacity.

###To-Do

• Implement Van class
• Implement Garage class
