I’ve been fleshing out my game of monopoly a bit more. Put in the concepts of houses and hotels. Still haven’t gotten the chance cards or community chest. I’ll probably get those later on. Thought I’d share the little bit of joy that I usually get when writing code in Ruby. Here I’m basically declaring the data for various properties. Notice that even with some the necessary noise of commas and the different brackets (all issues that could be resolved with a proper DSL clean slate implementation for example), the code is still easy to follow even with very little appreciation for the programming language itself. It’s just that clean. Stuff like this is a real joy to write and then polish.

About Me
I'm a professional engineer working in the software industry based currently out of Toronto, Canada. If I'm not writing code, you might find me on the hockey rink or reading the NY Times over coffee.
I have recently started to plan a trip around the world with my wife, Susana, putting my software development career on hold while I grow and learn in other ways beyond the keyboard.
