[nextercism] Restructure config.json

[robphoenix]

I've made some changes based on discussions in #829

This PR is mostly to continue that discussion than anything else.

Would be good to have Raindrops unlock another exercise.

[tleen]

How about roman-numerals as an unlock from raindrops? It is a 2 and not anywhere yet I don't think.

Aye, was thinking of that one, 👍

[tleen]

acronym should probably drop out of core, there is nothing really core-worthy about it that the *grams don't generally handle, it does make an interesting bonus though.

[robphoenix]

current state, after bdcbb52

[tleen]

What do you think about moving luhn into core?

[tleen]

phone-number and prime-factors can be clock unlocks?

[robphoenix]

What do you think about moving luhn into core?

Yeah, sure, it's one of those exercises that shows up in many places (cs50 for instance) and it can unlock other crypto exercises.

phone-number and prime-factors can be clock unlocks?

👍
I do wonder if we could refactor phone-number so that AreaCode & Format could be methods on a Number type, and even change formatted to be a String method. I think that would seem more idiomatic, and make it a more logical unlock from clock, what are others thoughts? I'll open a new issue if so.

Other unlock possibilities...

accumulate -> unlock -> strain
bank-account -> robot-simulator
leap -> triangle
isogram -> word-count

It's definitely worth opening an issue to discuss.

I wonder if we have tournament unlock kindergarten-garten,ocr-numbers, diamond,pascals-triangle (#830 (comment) & #830 (comment)) and perhaps have clock unlock tournament?

[robphoenix]

tree-building unlock ledger (#830 (comment)) and maybe series?

[robphoenix]

And per your suggestion here group these:

matrix
word-search
crypto-square
queen-attack
saddle-points
transpose
minesweeper

but I'm not sure where to put them/which exercise to unlock them or if one of them should be core???

It seems to be a good core exercise, matrix would be the core exercise and the others unlock off it? This way people will at least have some familiarity with the basic matrix/multi-dimensional array concept before trying to apply tricker concepts on top of a matrix.

[tleen]

tree-building unlock ledger (#830 (comment)) and maybe series?

Def the first two, series actually seems kind of easy, perhaps we should unlock that earlier with parallel-letter-frequency as that one needs some unlocks. I think perhaps binary-search and its unlock binary-search-tree would be good unlocks for tree-building.

[tleen]

Now I am wondering if tournament should be core and unlock all those problems...

meetup still needs a home and would fit in there with clock that would give clock 3 direct and 1 indirect unlock.

Not too far now!

[robphoenix]

ooooh, is that tree with one of your tools @tleen?

[tleen]

Yes @robphoenix! exercism-config-tree you can pipe your branch right in:

GET https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robphoenix/exercism-go/nextercism-exercise-order/config.json | exercism-config-tree

I have a greybeard need to see stuff in text format sometimes 😊.

[robphoenix]

🙌 heck yeah!

Have you thought about porting this to Go for inclusion in configlet?

[tleen]

Have you thought about porting this to Go for inclusion in configlet?

Yep, this was more of a prototype to work out the details.

[robphoenix]

Yep, this was more of a prototype to work out the details.

I look forward to reviewing the PR 😄

I've updated this PR.

[tleen]

Good stuff, so now it seems to be a matter of organizing these unattached non-bonus exercises.

bracket-push probably belongs unlocked by tree-building

[tleen]

circular-buffer under error-handling? It could go in a few places, but error-handling could use some unlocks... Perhaps circular-buffer can unlock custom-set?

[tleen]

react may be good under bank-account?

[robphoenix]

all-your-base under grains?
sieve under grains?
wordy under robot-name?
change under bank-account?

[shaleh]

Excellent. I am a few exercises away from completing all of the Go track. I will look at how I solved them and what I thought was difficult and submit feedback as issues and/or PR.

[robphoenix]

oh my gosh @shaleh that would be AMAZING! ✨

[shaleh]

No worries. I used an open source resource. This is how we pay for those resources.

[tleen]

This looks really good now! Wow!

[tleen]

Great work and perseverance on getting this done @robphoenix 😀 🎆
