This installment of Chess TDD was another episode focused on en passant. It’s been a while since I was in this code base. I’d been on the road a lot and without my main development/recording rig. But now I’m back and was able to take the opportunity to record a little Chess TDD ahead of…
This episode followed right on the heels of Chess TDD 44, in terms of the coding, and was basically a session extending that episode. It wasn’t always pretty, but I made more progress on solving this edge case. I’m in the midst of a pretty brutal stretch of travel, and then my wedding and honeymoon…
En passant is going to be a fairly complicated thing to calculate, given the way I’ve implemented this thing so far. And, true to form, I only got a very thin slice going in this episode. Still, it was measurable progress and it’s good that I was able to slice thinly. What I accomplish in…
This episode was a lot of fun because all of the cards just kind of fell into place and I got the pawn done (with the exception of en passant). I had thought finishing up the pawn was going to take a number of episodes, but then there was a flurry of win. I’ll take…
In this episode, fresh off the victory of getting pawn movement right for the white pawns, I start on the black ones by essentially reversing their movement. What I accomplish in this clip: Got the first acceptance test passing for black pawn movement. Here are some lessons to take away: Having one context per test class…
