Tests and CLI Args

You can now add arguments to the Hadronize CLI in the terminal, which lets you avoid having to use the setup flow. Here’s an example.

pnpm run cli --seed 12345 --player Alice:human --player Bob:bot

It also works if you run the CLI as a remote script.

deno run -A http://ethmarks.github.io/hadronize/cli.ts -s 8 -p a:bot -p b:bot -p c:bot

This was pretty easy to implement. I just used Node’s parseArgs utility for the main arg parsing and wrote a bunch of validation logic that converts the raw arguments (which are always strings) into the data types that my code uses.

Tests

Over the past couple days, I’ve made a little test suite for the game logic using Vitest. I’ve written 19 individual tests, but some of them repeat multiple times with different game seeds and whatnot to ensure that it works with a variety of inputs, so Vitest actually runs 101 tests in total.

All of the tests pass, and I didn’t discover any bugs, which either means that I managed to get all the game logic correct on the first try, or that there’s something wrong with my tests.

Next Steps

I think that I’ve probably spent too much time on the CLI. I don’t think that it was time wasted, but I probably ought to get started on the main game UI.
