And on the Second Day of a/A, My True Love Gave to Me…
2 projects in one day! Tiring! But at least we managed to get through both the Sudoku checker and the connect-4 game by 6pm. Connect-4 had some not-very-pretty methods, though we refactored the diagonal_winner checker to be manageable. Our straight_line checker may have been a little more convoluted to understand, but I do like that it was operationally less exhaustive, aka more “optimized” (Instead of considering all possible 4-space slices, it only looks at what is actually in the board.)
First Day of School
