AdaCat is a tamagotchi style game representing the pet cat of an Ada student. Run the game and try playing for a while. Read through the code - look at the index.js, AdaCat.js, and CommandLineApp.js files - try to understand what they’re doing and how they work. Do the same with the unit tests in AdaCat.test.js.
- Clone this repo and
cdinto it - Install dependencies:
npm install - Check that everything's working by running the tests:
npm test - Start the app:
node index.js- Try feeding and playing with the cat!
- Tell the cat to nap and wake up again!
- Press 0 to quit
Complete the following tasks, using TDD throughout - writing unit tests first, then code, in a red/green/refactor cycle.
- Add comments across the code base explaining what everything does
- Add a new attribute to AdaCat called
tiredness. Feeding the cat increases tiredness by 1. Playing with the cat increases tiredness by 3. Telling the cat to nap resets tiredness to 0. Tiredness can be between 0 and 15. Include tiredness ingetDescription - Add a new attribute to AdaCat called
messagethat holds the cat’s status message. It starts off empty, but each time a method like feed or play gets called it gets updated. E.g. when play is called message is updated to “the cat is playing”. Include this message ingetDescription - Currently, the cat can be fed while it’s asleep. Modify the code so that this cannot happen and provide some feedback that you’re trying to feed a sleeping cat using the message attribute.
- Extend the AdaCat class to check that if the cat’s health goes below a certain value that a warning message appears in the description like “take your cat to the vet”
- Extend the cat with more behaviours and statistics to make the game more interesting
- Copy the AdaCat class into a new P5 sketch. Can you provide a graphic interface to AdaCat without modifying the class?
- Allow the user to have more than one cat at once
