API Reference

Endpoints

GET /status

Returns the current status of the spacecraft:

{
    "battery": "100%",
    "speed": "200 km/h (forward)",
    "fuel": "85%",
    "minerals": "Iron, Copper, Silicon",
    "groundSubstances": "Water, Methane",
    "status": "Awake"
}

POST /action

Send commands to control the spacecraft.

Available Actions:

1. Movement Control

{
    "action": "move",
    "value": "forward" | "backward" | "stop"
}

2. Power Management

{
    "action": "power",
    "value": "sleep" | "wake"
}

3. Sensor Control

{
    "action": "sensors",
    "value": "on" | "off"
}

4. Fuel Management

{
    "action": "fuel",
    "value": "refuel"
}

System Specifications

Power System

• Full battery: 100%
• Movement consumption: 5% per action
• Wake-up consumption: 2%
• Sleep mode: Instant recharge to 100%

Fuel System

• Full tank: 100%
• Movement consumption: 2% per action
• Refuel amount: +25% per refuel
• Cannot move when fuel is depleted

Movement System

• Speed: 200 km/h
• Directions: Forward/Backward
• Emergency stop available
• Requires both power and fuel to move

3. Publish package:

npm publish --access public

Usage Example

// Move forward
fetch('/action', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
    body: JSON.stringify({
        action: 'move',
        value: 'forward'
    })
});

// Enter sleep mode to recharge
fetch('/action', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
    body: JSON.stringify({
        action: 'power',
        value: 'sleep'
    })
});

Running the Project

1. Start the server:

npm start

2. Access the control panel:

http://localhost:3000

Error Handling

The system provides clear error messages for:

• Insufficient power
• Insufficient fuel
• Sleep mode movement attempts
• Invalid commands
• System state conflicts
