This repository contains a series of automated tests that will guide you through implementing your own version of a famous falling blocks game.
The game is a fairly small project suitable for beginners who understand the basic concepts of programming, or for veteran developers looking to pick up a new language.
Along the way, it will expose you to some common software engineering tools and practices that might not be familiar to new developers.
- version control with git
- process automation
- coding to an interface
- inter-process communication
- test-driven/behavior-driven development
- creating a simple domain-specific language
Note: This is not a tutorial.
While the tests are "about" a video game, the real purpose of this exercise is to force you to "fend for yourself" on a project, without relying on tutorial-style guidance.
Instead, the tests present a series of problems that you will need to solve in order to implement the game.
It is entirely up to you how to write the code.
The tests themselves are written in python, but you are free to implement your game in any language you like.
The first section involves setting up a simple communication protocol so the tests can run your code, and the rest focus on the game itself.

Except of course you can't yet, because I haven't written it. Stay tuned. -- @tangentstorm
