Save The Planet Game

Overview

The "Save The Planet" game is a fun and interactive coding challenge where users are tasked with completing a coding problem within a specified deadline. The goal is to reverse a string and return the correct output before time runs out. This project is implemented in Go and includes a set of tests to ensure functionality.

Features

• Task Creation: Create a new task with a name and a deadline.
• Task Completion: Attempt to complete the task by providing the correct output.
• Deadline Enforcement: The task must be completed within the specified time limit.
• Error Handling: Provides feedback for incorrect answers or timeouts.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Go (version 1.16 or higher) installed on your machine.
• A terminal or command prompt.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/savetheplanet.git
   cd savetheplanet

2. Install dependencies (if any):

   go mod tidy

Running the Game

To run the game, execute the following command in your terminal:

go run cmd/main.go

User Input

During the game, you will be prompted to complete a coding challenge. The challenge will ask you to reverse a specific string. You will need to type the exact reversed string as your answer. For example:

• Challenge: Write a function in Go to reverse the string 'save_the_planet' and return it.
• Example Input: save_the_planet
• Expected Output: tenalp_eht_evas

Make sure to provide your answer within the specified time limit to successfully complete the task.

Running Tests

To ensure everything is working correctly, you can run the tests included in the project. Use the following command:

go test ./internal/planet

This will execute all the test cases defined in planet_code_test.go and report any failures.

Code Structure

• cmd/main.go: Entry point for the application.
• internal/planet/planet_code.go: Contains the main logic for the game, including the SaveThePlanet struct and methods.
• internal/planet/planet_code_test.go: Contains unit tests for the game logic.
