For homework tonight we are going to make a simple command line based program in ruby, your first ruby application! You also are going to take some time to review a Sinatra Application's Source Code! More on that on the bottom.
- Create a ruby application that runs from a single ruby file
deaf_grandma.rb - When you run
ruby deaf_grandma.rbin the terminal you should be greeted by grandma, and promted for some input. - If your input is not in all caps, grandma should respond with "WHAT'S THAT SONNY?" and promt the user again.
- If your input IS in all caps, grandma should respond with "NO DEAR, NOT SINCE 1928!"
Bonus:
- Keep this
loopgoing until the user inputs "GOODBYE GRANDMA" - Every 5 questions Grandma get's asked she says "It's getting late, dear."
- After 20 questions Grandma only responds with "ZZZZZZ" (unless we say GOODBYE GRANDMA)
- Add some features of your own! Be creative!
Here's a screenshot of what we expect this to look like:
Check out this nifty little web app that gives github repo's a score in a old-school gaming fashion! Its not the most useful app ever, but it is simple. It does one thing and does it well.
Once you have played with the app a little bit, check out the source code. Start with the app.rb Think about the following questions:
- What's familiar?
- What isn't?
- What looks like good code?
- What doesn't?
- Is this MVC?
During the previous exercise, rate your progress on a scale of 1-5 (5 being the highest) for the following criteria:
- Persistence: Do you handle frustration well? Do you independently pursue understanding?
- Organization: Do you thoughtfully implement best coding patterns and practices?
- Collaboration: Do you make an effort solve problems and share your ideas with others?
- Communication: Do you clearly convey your thoughts to others in illustrative and clear ways?
- Self-compassion: Do you make productive use of turning failures into learning opportunities?
- Resourcefulness: Do make an effort to compare and contrast new ideas with ones you already know?
