Boardgames Exercise

Published at https://neuroning.com/boardgames-exercise/

This repo is a solution to exercise 2.13 of book "Software Design for Flexibility" by by Chris Hanson and Gerald Jay Sussman. In Clojure.

Assignment: Model the rules of Chess. Design the code with the flexibility to easily add new types of pieces with unique movements. The goal is to create a shared core model that can also be used for other board games, such as Checkers, Tic-Tac-Toe, and similar.

The code includes Clerk notebooks with a code walkthrough of the implementation with visualizatons and code stepper.

To start Clerk notebooks locally

Install clj and babashka. Then run:

bb clerk-watch

This will start the Clerk server at http://localhost:7778 with a file watcher that updates the page each time any file in the src directory changes.

Alternatively, you may want to start a Clojure REPL activating the :dev alias (clj -M:dev), connect with your editor and then call (user/start!) to start the Clerk server.

To run all tests

bb test
# or:
bb test --skip-meta :failing-on-purpose

To build the static site

bb build-static
