Week 3, Day 6

I am really pleased with myself today. The good news is I have managed to create a Rock-paper-scissors game against a computer and for two players. The bad news is, I need to work a LOT on getting in on the web.

The code of the day is reducing the dependency of my Computer class so that the computer can take any ‘hands’ and pick one.

class Options

  attr_reader :choices

  def initialize
    @choices = []
  end

  def add_choice(*new_entries)
    new_entries.each { |new_entry| choices << new_entry unless choice_added?(new_entry) }
  end

  private

  def choice_added?(choice)
    choices.include?(choice)
  end

end

My ‘Options’ class is the foundation of what my Computer class will take. So once, we have decided what ‘choices’ our computer will have, we can initialize it:

class Computer

  attr_reader :options

  def initialize(options)
    @options = options.choices
  end

  def choose
    options.sample
  end

end

I am also calling the method choices on the passing parameter to further reduce the dependency of my Computer class. Anything that cannot react to the choices method will throw an error.

This is all for today.

Good night.
