JitterTed's TDD Game: Online - Episode 3: "Front-End" (Java, Spring, Hexagonal Architecture)
This is Episode #3, where we merge a cleaned up state machine diagram from Astrid, and introduce ID classes for Person and Player. We add constraints that a game can only hold 4 players, but existing players can rejoin. Then start creating the HTML front-end for joining the game. After taking some advice from Cody (AI coding assistant), we add Spring Security, and then realize our previous "fake" login mechanism isn't needed, so we do it the "right" way.
We then finish by test-driving the front-end "Lobby" where a host will create a new game and plan out the next steps.
I'm developing the online version of JitterTed's TDD Game (see https://tdd.cards for the physical game) 100% live in front of viewers.
Tech Stack: Java with Spring Boot, Spring MVC and (eventually HTMX), JUnit testing via TDD, and architected according to Testable (Hexagonal) Architecture principles.
