Connect4

"Assignment: Build Connect4!"

Learning Objectives:

• Build a game of Connect4
• Build it using TDD

Personal Objective:

• Refactor code using lessons from Refactoring: Ruby Edition by Fields Jay, Harvie Shane, Fowler Martin and Beck Kent, and 99 Bottles of OOP by Sandi Metz, Katrina Owen and TJ Stankus
• Have ZERO Rubocop alerts/warnings of any kind
• Post on TOP Discord to gain feedback. This is vital before attempting CHESS

Current status:

• Complete! All major refactorings finished. 100% there is major room for improvement in terms of overall design, but rubocop is at zero and I successfully applied refactoring techniques gained from the books above. It's a good step forward at least

• View it live on replit: https://repl.it/@programmurr/SolidNoxiousExperiment#main.rb

Lessons learned / Things to work on:

• TDD coverage was not at 100% due to the ArrayMaker class and WinCheck module created to assist the public API
• I noticed that, when the project began, methods that would otherwise be private are being tested e.g. Board#set_cell_coordinates
• Is it necessary to make those methods private later, after testing, then change tests so that they only test public methods? Find out before starting Chess
