bowling
This project explores idiomatic Clojure via a relatively simple task: scoring the game of bowling. I've been using this task as a way to learn new programming languages since 1993, when I used it to learn Java. Scoring bowling is just weird enough that its code is non trivial.
As this is my first clojure program, it's probably not as idiomatic as it could be. Feel free to open bugs against style or even send me pull requests with improvements :-)
Installation
First install Clojure. Next install Leiningen.
Finally clone the repository and test it:
$ git clone git@github.com:rogerta/bowling.git
$ cd bowling
$ lein test
lein test bowling.core-test
Ran 4 tests containing 42 assertions.
0 failures, 0 errors.
If you see the message above you're good to go.
Usage
Score a bowling game from within the development environment with this command:
$ lein trampoline run
(Note that lein run by itself won't work since lein consumes stdin.)
When prompted, enter the number of pins knocked down by one shot. The program then displays a textual representation of the frames played. Repeat until the game is over.
