KALAH!
Design
This is a SpringBoot application to provide the required endpoints for playing the Kalah! game. In design of application
was tried to adhere Micro Services architectural style. Application has a simulated in-memory data base which can be found
in the dao package. It uses a ConcurrentMap. The logic of game has been encapsulated in logic package. A layer named
service is responsible to relate the logic to the controller package. Spring HATEOS and Swagger were used to create links
and exploiting MicroServices design principles respectively.
Test
Unit tests were provided to test logic, service and controller layers of the application which cover different kind of tests like mocking unit test, integration tests and acceptance test.
Execution
mvn clean install
java -jar assignment-1.0.jar
Game Requirements
Each of the two players has ** six pits ** in front of him/her. To the right of the six pits, each player has a larger pit, his Kalah or house. At the start of the game, six stones are put in each pit. The player who begins picks up all the stones in any of their own pits, and sows the stones on to the right, one in each of the following pits, including his own Kalah. No stones are put in the opponent's' Kalah. If the players last stone lands in his own Kalah, he gets another turn. This can be repeated any number of times before it's the other player's turn.
When the last stone lands in an own empty pit, the player captures this stone and all stones in the opposite pit (the other players' pit) and puts them in his own Kalah.
The game is over as soon as one of the sides run out of stones. The player who still has stones in his/her pits keeps them and puts them in his/hers Kalah. The winner of the game is the player who has the most stones in his Kalah.
