I could start by copying my tests from the JS implementation I wrote years ago, but that would ruin some of the fun and purpose of this exercise. It’s a very effective tool for teaching basic TDD to junior developers, and I’d recommend it. In fact, my first exposure to Conway’s Game was during an exercise intended to demonstrate how Test-Driven Development (TDD) works. Whenever I build the GOL I insist on writing tests first. Or, if you want to see my favourite implementation of GoL I’ve done, check out the one I made with React. I’m going to write this devlog as I go, so I may include in it some challenges I’ve faced as they may be interesting to read about and learn from.ĭon’t wanna read this? Just want the code? Here is the GitHub repo. So, starting with the Game of Life is as good as any start with the language. However, I haven’t used it more than once or twice in small ways before. I suspect one day I will have a job where I’ll need to write a lot of TypeScript. It’s quite common these days for JS developers to espouse the benefits of TypeScript.
In some cases, it could be a good introduction which leads to more serious use of the language, like a tasting menu of code. And finally, I do it because I’ll never have time to learn all the programming languages, but I may have time to at least expose myself to a little bit of them. I do this because I really like the Game of Life as a concept. I do this because t’s fun to have a collection of repos that do the same thing with different technologies. So far, I’ve done JavaScript, JavaScript with React, Python and Go. I have an ongoing project on GitHub to build a collection of implementations of Conway’s Game of Life using various technologies.
