Longest word game

this is a good example on how to use erlang OTP and build a application with gen_server. this is made very easy because of rebar (see at github), which can setup the basic project for you, nothing too fancy. the basics contain:

  • a supervisor (see src/game_sup.erl)
  • basic OTP folder structure
  • application resource file etc

Also eunit is shipped with standard erl, and make test generates the coverage (because thats defined in rebar.config).

How to play

Run make docs for to take a look at the API (always up to date).

For quick start this should get you playing:

make run
(game_server@localhost)1> game:submit(stefano, "The supersophisticated cats").
Great job stefano you have a new highscore: 18 with word "supersophisticated"!!
ok
(game_server@localhost)1> game:get_highscore().
{stefano,18,"supersophisticated"}

This repos was a learning project for me. I might be a nice resource for others.
