Author: Marty Stepp

("Critter" classes come from the University of Washington's CSE 142 Critters homework assignment. See the assignment spec for more information.)

Write a complete Critter class named Bumblebee. A Bumblebee object should move in a "spiral" pattern from W to S to E to N, lengthening each time:

  • one step west
  • two steps south
  • three steps east
  • four steps north
  • five steps west
  • six steps south
  • seven steps east
  • eight steps north
  • nine steps west
  • ...

All other Bumblebee behavior uses the defaults. You may add anything needed (fields, other methods) to implement this behavior appropriately.
