Project 4: Refactoring

Due date: Nov 16, 2021

Objectives:

• Apply refactoring to two Python games (class_based_pong.py and connect-4.py).

Expectations:

• This should be a team effort where both teammates sit together and make a list of code smells and general refactoring plan.
• Proper use of GitHub is expected, each refactoring should go on a branch that is merged once the code has been tested (we mean tested in the general sense, not necessarily TTD or unit testing).
• Both teammates should contribute to the repository through their accounts. GitHub counts code lines, so I should be able to see how much each person contributes.
• Good coding practices are expected, write good commit messages.

Submission:

• Project code should be in a single public repository on GitHub. Please share the repository with me.
• Create two folders in your repository, one called before where you have the initial code before refactoring, and the other is called after and it contains the refactored code.
• The Repository should show two collaborators who contributed an approximately equal number of lines of code.
• The repository should show several commits with appropriate messages from both collaborators. You will be graded based on the quality of your refactoring, GitHub practices, and your teamwork.
• Each team member should add a link to the GitHub repository for this project in their Google Drive folder.
• Each team member should fill the team health check document and add it to the project’s Google Drive folder.
• Each team member should write a report that focuses on their contribution to the project. The report should include:

1. Abstract: project summary, 250 words or less.

2. Results: show the outcome of the project.

3. Contribution: describe your own contribution to the project as specifically as possible (in contrast to what your teammate did).

4. Extensions

5. Team experience reflection: a summary of the lessons learned from the team experience (you can include a description of any team issues here).

6. References

Extension:

For the refactoring extensions below, make sure you have the before and after versions of your code in your repository.

• Apply refactoring to the file “search_maze_before.py”
• Apply refactoring to your implementation of Sudoku from CS231.
• Apply refactoring any code that you wrote previously.
• Create unit tests for the two games using Pytest and generate a code coverage report.
