How to install the auto-build stack

Install builders

Intall node/npm then npm i on the root folder to get builders.

Auto build JS and CSS files

In VS Code, add extension https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=emeraldwalk.RunOnSave and then add to config.json extension part :

        "commands": [
            {
                "match": ".*\\.ts$",
                "isAsync": true,
                "cmd": "npm run build:ts"
            },
            {
                "match": ".*\\.scss$",
                "isAsync": true,
                "cmd": "npm run build:scss"
            }
        ]
    }

If you use it for another game, replace tickettoride mentions on package.json build:scss script and on tsconfig.json files property.

Auto-upload builded files

Also add one auto-FTP upload extension (for example https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=lukasz-wronski.ftp-sync) and configure it. The extension will detected modified files in the workspace, including builded ones, and upload them to remote server.

Hint

Make sure ftp-sync.json and node_modules are in .gitignore

How to start PHP unit test

go on tests dir and start execute file, for example php ./tickettoride.game.test-longest-path.php / php ./tickettoride.game.test-destination-completed.php

Points of rules

If there is a lot of locomotives remaining in a small set of available cards (for example 3 locomotives in 5 visible cards, no card in discard), we attempt 3 times to replace and if there is still 3 locomotives, we log and let them visible (to avoid an infinite loop). In case the player cannot pick destination cards nor train car cards, and cannot claim a route, we let him pass. What if he can only construct ? Does he have to ? -> probably yes, no issue here What if he can only pick destinations ? Does he have to ? -> asked, can be a negative move for the player

About other maps

Some code is already prepared in case of new maps. search "TODO MAPS" to activate them if you duplicate this project to create a new map
