GooseGameKata

Description

GooseGameKata is a proposed solution about this Kata. For all general information about the game, you can read the readme. In this implementation there are some enhancements, mostly on CLI command you can provide.

Usage

These are the list of commands available through CLI:

• help: shows a list of all commands available

***************++*************************************************

• add: add a new player to the game

add player pippo
players: pippo

• move: move the selected player. This command come in two flavors: you can provide dices value, or you can let the program provide them for you

move pippo 3, 5
pippo rolls 3, 5. pippo moves from 0 to 8.

• status: show the current standings of players, and the next one who have to move

status
status: pippo is in position 8, pluto is in position 7, pippo is next one to move

• exit: ends the game, and tell you bye bye!

exit
game terminated, goodbye!

The full set of rules has been implemented. The most significant ones are the following:

• bridge: if a player go on a space called the bridge, located at 6, he jump directly to position 12. For make a general rule about that, the underlying implementation consists by doubling current position: so 6 become 12, 10 become 20, and so on

move pippo 2, 4
pippo rolls 2, 4. pippo moves from 0 to The Bridge. pippo jump to 12.

• goose: if a player go on a space called * the goose*, he moves again by the same amount of positions, so practically does again previous move. It's possible also to do multiple jumps between multiple goose cells

move pippo
pippo rolls 2, 3. pippo moves from 0 to 5, The Goose. pippo moves again and goes to 10.

move pippo
pippo rolls 4, 5. pippo moves from 0 to 9, The Goose. pippo moves again and goes to 18, The Goose. pippo moves again and goes to 27, The Goose. pippo moves again and goes to 36.

• prank: if a player go on a space where there is already another player inside, they switch places. The only exception is of course the initial position (0)

move pippo 1, 4
pippo rolls 1, 4. pippo moves from 7 to 12. On 12 there is pluto, who returns to 7.

• final place: fo win, a player have to go exactly on the finish place: if he move forward, will fallback for the same amount of positions

pippo rolls 6, 6. pippo moves from 53 to 63. pippo bounces! pippo returns to 61. 

These behaviors are configurable, by a configuration file. Its a JSON with this structure:

{
"GooseCells" : [5,9,14,18,23,27],
"BridgeCells" : [6],
"MultiplePlayerCells" : [0],
"GoalCell" : 63,
"MinNumberOfPlayers" : 2,
"Prank" : true
}

Requirements

minimum osx version is 10.10, Cocoapods 1.5.2
