code retreat

code retreat rules

• each session is 45 minutes long
• each pair switches with new members on every session change
• code must be deleted on every session change
• use test driven development

four rules of simple design

• tests pass
• expresses intent
• no duplication
• short

conway's game of life rules

• 1. any live cell with < 2 live neighbors dies of under population
• 2. any live cell with 2 or 3 live neighbors lives on
• 3. any live cell with > 3 live neighbors dies of over population
• 4. any dead cell with exactly 3 live neighbors comes alive

constraints

step 0

• no rules
• no constraints

step 1

• use test driven development (tdd)
• no constraints

step 2

• use tdd
• no primitives across method boundaries
• input and output must be defined by us

step 3

• use tdd
• silent tdd
• no talking, no chatting

step 4

• use tdd
• code like it's 1969
• you can only run the tests and code twice for the whole session
