Developing an Engine
Application flow
The main Java code is split up in two parts:
- javainterface: handles everything the game engine needs to do to start, run and finish.
- tictactoe: contains project specific code and extends most of javainterfaces abstract classes.
The Engine's entry point is the src/java/io/riddles/gameengine/Go.java file. This file creates a Go Engine and invokes it's run function.
Testing
Tests are located in: test/groovy/io/riddles/javainterface
For testing, the Groovy language is used, which is compatible with JDK 8. When you run 'gradle test', all tests located in /test are executed and results are shown.
