Read original idea here: Learning concurrency in Golang
I remember building a similar game in Java when I was learning multithreading ten years ago… let’s use this opportunity to do it again with modern Go.
I built a terminal game emulator that mimics one horse racing. Each horse is a goroutine that runs in a shared bidimensional matrix. Once a horse reaches the end, it notifies the shared channel between all other horses –running in different processes– and they all stop, showing in the terminal the winner of the race.
go run main.goThis command will recursively search for tests in the current directory and its subdirectories and run them.
go test ./...Alternatively, you can specify the relative path to the directory containing your tests:
go test ./tests- (easy) use os.ENV to define maxSleepDelay, renderDelay, lines, lineLength
- (hard) Do not clear the entire board everytime. Instead leave the Board fixed, and use the cursor to access to the position of the Horse, remove its name and place it in the name position (we should lock using Mutex the cursor, so only one horse can use it at a time)
- ?
