jan25 / termracer Goto Github PK

Setup minimal CI that should be able to check if these make commands succeed

• build
• test
• run

Also, block direct push to master in favor of changes through PR only.
Here is a tutorial from circleci https://circleci.com/blog/setting-up-continuous-integration-with-github/

Use this to troubleshoot go run -race github.com/jan25/termracer/cmd ./cmd/main.go

If this application is fetched using go get the termracer binary won't be able to pick up paragraph files or read/write to racehistory.csv file. We need to setup a configuration file to define the directory to put such files.

For instance, we could have ~/termracer directory which will be created/initialised on every build. And it could contains all necessary local files required by the application/executable.

Current release(-alpha) has only one paragraph to race with. It'd be nice to have a few processed paragraphs in USE state and are downloaded at install time. So the racer can pick a random one for the race from $HOME/termracer

• Check https://github.com/jan25/termracer/tree/master/server/samples for utility to generate paragraphs based on a book
• TODO here needs to be resolved https://sourcegraph.com/github.com/jan25/termracer/-/blob/lib.go#L90

Currently only way to install this app is through go get -u or go install. The users need not have a go environment setup locally, so they should be able to download and install binary to use the app.

Currently we rely on string concats for this. We can use https://golang.org/pkg/path/ instead.
