This is a web app that uses Ruby and Sinatra to deliver a one or two player game of Rock, Paper, Scissors (or paper, scissors, stone as I called it when I was a child).
There is of course HTML, and also a tiny bit of CSS to liven things up slightly.
It is fully tested, with 100% coverage using RSpec and Capybara.
I really enjoyed this project: I used class methods and class instance variables from the outset, which made things relatively simple. I think I've kept the classes and methods in the model relatively lean. I wrote the single player version first, and then included two-player functionality. I am happy with my code, although there is perhaps still some logic in the controller that could be moved into the model. I'm happy with my unit tests on the whole, but I'm not sure I've got the hang of Capybara yet (or, at least, the skill of writing elegant Capybara feature tests).
There's lots of functionality I could add: a score tally, graphics, 'lizard' and 'spock' weapons?
git clone https://github.com/edpackard/rps-challenge.git
cd rps-challenge
gem install bundler # if required
bundle install
From the rps-challenge directory, run rackup from Terminal.
If rackup starts correctly, you should see a port number (i.e. port=9292)
Open a browser windows and enter http://localhost:9292/
You should see a screen welcoming you to Rock, Paper, Scissors
To play one player vs. the computer, enter your name in the player 1 box and click 'Let's Play!'
To play two player, enter names in both player boxes before clicking 'Let's Play!'
The game will not start if the player 1 box is left blank.
At the end of the game, you will be given the option to play again (vs. the same opponent), or return to the homepage.
- Rock beats Scissors
- Scissors beats Paper
- Paper beats Rock
Run rspec from Terminal within the rps-challenge directory. This will run all of the feature and unit tests. To run individual tests, put the file path after rspec, such as rspec ./spec/unit/player_spec.rb.
