Mars Rover Backend Kata

Welcome. This kata consist in a solution that translates commands sent from Earth to instructions that are understood by a Rover on Mars

Functional requirements

Given:
 - a two dimensional map of Mars
 - the initial starting point and direction of the Rover
 
When:
 - a command is received
   move `forward` or `backward` or rotate `left` or `right` (90 degrees)

Then:
 - move the Rover
   if the Rover disappears over the edge of the map (the horizon), continue on the other side (remember, Mars is a sphere)

Bonus point

After ensuring that the functional requirements have been met, as a bonus point (not necessary but more than welcome), add a new feature:

Given:
 - a list of obstacles with their exact location
 
When:
 - Rover moves

And:
 - Rover encounters an obstacle

Then:
 - report back the obstacle. The Rover should stay in its previous position

Your solution

Must (These points are mandatory)

Fulfill the Functional Requirements stated in this readme
Be testable. In a way that let checking that everything is working without execute the main app
Be self compiled
Be self executable

Should (Nice to have)

Fulfill the Bonus point section of this readme
Be bug free
Use any design patterns you know and feel that help solve this problem
Be extensible to allow the introduction of new features in an easy way
Use any package dependency mechanism
Have a SOLUTION.md containing all the relevant features of the provided solution

Evaluation

The design and code over the usage of frameworks and libraries
The evolution of the solution, not just the delivered code
The easibility of extending the solution with feasible features
