A PHP CLI connect4 game, where a human can play the computer with simple AI. Game is build on Lumen framework just for minimal installation and use of artisan.
Laravel Lumen is a stunningly fast PHP micro-framework for building web applications with expressive, elegant syntax. We believe development must be an enjoyable, creative experience to be truly fulfilling. Lumen attempts to take the pain out of development by easing common tasks used in the majority of web projects, such as routing, database abstraction, queueing, and caching.
This guide assumes that you have git and composer installed globally on your system
Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/malcolmhire/connect4
Composer dependances
composer install
To play game in command line run
php artisan connect4:play
The main package is located in packages/MalcolmHire/Connect4/Console/Connect4Command.php, this could be abstracted into a composer package but I have left in place for easy review.
I have utilised a Illuminate\Console\Command to easily work with CLI and used Laravel Lumen for the use of Artisan to run commands in CLI.
All code should be to a PSR-4 standard
There are no tests currently in place, if this was a production app I would write a few tests to go with the app.
