NBA Game Analyzer

This is a C# class called NbaGameAnalyzer that implements the IGameAnalyzer interface:

namespace NbaGameLibrary
{   
    public interface IGameAnalyzer
    {
        public Dictionary<TeamDomesticity,  List<string>> GetAllPlayersNames();
        public List<GameAction>? GetAllPlayerActionsByName(string playersName); 
    }
}

The class analyzes NBA games by fetching and parsing play-by-play data from the NBA server and organizing the data into players and their actions.

Useage Example

using NbaGameLibrary;
class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        NbaGameAnalyzer game =  new NbaGameAnalyzer().CreateAsync().GetAwaiter().GetResult();
        Dictionary<TeamDomesticity, List<string>> allPlayers = game.GetAllPlayersNames();
        List<string> homeTeam = allPlayers[TeamDomesticity.home];
        string playerName = homeTeam[0];
        List<GameAction> playerActions = game.GetAllPlayerActionsByName(playerName);
        Console.WriteLine(string.Format("This are the actions that {0}, did during the game:", playerName));
        foreach(GameAction action in playerActions)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(action.GetActionType());
        }
    }
}
