• Small homework project that evolved. My playground for learning things like:
  • OOP principals
  • Programming patterns
  • Graphics and scaling
  • Math ;)
• Initial project was a homework from CodeCool school for getting to know JavaFX and TDD
• TDD is not here, at that point I fail to understand the purpose of TDD and tests in general.
• Tests will be here if I ever have time to dive in this project again
