[PRL] Bowling Game Problem; Coding Dojos

[Mitchell Wand]

Dan F. was saying that I wasn't posting enough blog entries lately, so
here's one w/ a good little problem:

The Bowling Game Kata. The challenge was essentially to write some code that
> scores a full (ten-frame) game of bowling. A game is represented by a series
> of "rolls," each being the number of pins knocked down by a roll of the
> bowling ball. The scoring function must determine frame boundaries from the
> sequence of rolls and score all ten frames according to the rules of
> bowling, i.e., taking into account spares and strikes and the final frame.

This came from the "Pittsburgh Coding Dojo"--

I wonder whether something like this would be fun or useful for our
undergrads.
