Learning scala and play framework

Gagan Mishra · November 13, 2018

In an attempt to learn a bit more scala and some play-framework, I wrote this a bit messy code over the last weekend.

Its a snake ladder board game with REST interface to start a game or roll a dice. The APIs return simple strings and there is no fancy UI. In fact, my major effort went into writing this logic which prints the status of the Game board in ASCIIs.

The Board cells expand or contract as required depending on the cell content length.

Sample:
