The instructors purposefully created exercises to let us build a program using the skills they demonstrated by building a different program. This wasn't a copy and paste kind of course. This game was actually my second run-through, where I test-drove everything from the start based on the objectives only. Skills I valued developing further with this project: - Test-driven development (50+ tests). - Using inheritance to model "is-a" relationships. For example, a clumsy player *is a* kind of player. - Using mixins (modules) to reuse behaviours that are common between classes, but should not be modeled with an inheritance relationship. A good tip was to look for 'able' behaviors in a class to extract, like 'playable', 'printable', 'taxable' etc. - Using a file block which lets you add in class usage examples that...
