Development Tips and Tricks
Start the REPL with lein repl.
When you modify a function or a card, simply reload the function or the cards.clj file (not agendas/programs/ice/etc.clj) to the REPL and it should be reflected in the game engine without having to recreate a new game:
(core/reset-card-defs)
For cards already installed you have to drag it back to hand and install it again to reflect the new code. No need to refresh the browser, you can keep the game state.
Changes to core game functions will require restarting the REPL.
To inspect the content of Clojure data structures, prn is handy. You can add prn in your functions or inside the (req ) macro in card definitions you want to inspect.
Once a game is started, execute:
(def state (:state (second (first @all-games))))
You can then use state to inspect the current game state, the same as if you were in a card our core function. Execute the def again when you make a new game.
As an example, you can then run
(pprint (core/all-installed state :corp))
to list all installed corp cards.
To modify the client side, Figwheel is awesome. Run lein figwheel and stylus -w src/css -o resources/public/css/. When you save a .cljs or .styl file, the Clojurescript or Stylus is automatically compiled and sent to the connected browsers. No need to refresh anything, you keep the game state. When you have an error in a .cljs file, the UI might disappear. Don't panic! As soon as the error is corrected the UI will reappear. No need to reload anything.
To run the unit tests: lein test
Tests are in the game-test namespace. To run selected unit tests: lein test game-test.cards.agendas
To combine test and repl run: lein clean && lein test && lein repl. This makes sure no compiled files are left from a branch switch or similar, and only starts the repl if all the tests pass.
John updated the fetch script to read from local json files in this branch: https://github.com/jwarwick/netrunner/tree/local_nrdb
Ensure mongod is running, then:
git clone https://github.com/gereons/netrunner-cards-json.git
git remote add jwarwick https://github.com/jwarwick/netrunner.git
git fetch jwarwick
git checkout jwarwick/local_nrdb
lein fetch --local <path to netrunner-cards-json> --no-card-images
git checkout <your own branch to begin work again>
