Bowling challenge

Makers Academy weekend challenge to create an app to score a game of ten pin bowling

Challenge Specification

Tech:

Javascript - Jasmine

Setup:

$ git clone https://github.com/jbropho/bowling-challenge

• Launch /index.html in your browser
• Open the developer tools and navigate to the console
• To input a roll, call game.play(score)
• To view the current total call game.score()

Testing

• Launch /SpecRunner.html in your browser

Approach

In this challenge I attempted to design my application so that a user interface could be added at a later time with ease. As the end of the second day was approaching I began to realise that adding a user interface would mean rushing and potentialy degrading my code quality. I decided to focus on refactoring and maintaining code quality as extra features can be added at a later date.

Positives

• Full test driven design with comprehensive feature testing
• Kept a potentialy logically complex challenge clean and maintainable
• Used es6 arrow functions to keep code clean with the use of lexical 'this' and implicit return

If I had more time

• Build a front end using Jquery, Jquery Ui and Boostrap 4

Focus for the next week

• Continued focus on team work and communication while entering the second week of team work at makers
