PocketMongrels

A HTTP driven Tamagotchi-like game built to learn the basics of C# and .NET. Completed as poart of a coding challenge.

• Brief
• Schema

Todo

• Split the petting/feeding out as 'action' resources. This would flatten the URI structure out a bit which currently uses chaining too much in my opinion.

  Example:

  Request

  POST /api/actions/
  
  {
      "Type": "feed",
      "User": "cca2854f-4b33-43cb-a34a-0102221fe2f1",
      "Pet": "baf61961-2f3b-4e46-9faf-af5ad3d13860"
  }

  Response

  HTTP OK
  Location: http://blah.com/api/animals/baf61961-2f3b-4e46-9faf-af5ad3d13860
  
  {
    "Guid": "baf61961-2f3b-4e46-9faf-af5ad3d13860",
    "Name": "Aurthur the Aardvark",
    "Type": 2,
    "Hunger": 0,
    "Happiness": 9.95,
    "LastFeed": "2016-12-07T12:40:18.7789036Z",
    "LastPet": "2016-12-07T12:41:01.0412902Z",
    "Born": "2016-12-07T12:37:42.8485645Z",
    "Owner": {
        "Guid": "e497ea45-76ee-49c4-b1be-70732176aa6e",
        "Name": "Jake"
    }
  }

• Add a DB and use some kind of sceduled task to calculate the metrics, rather than the convoluted getter.
