Remember?

                if (places[currentPlayer] > 11) places[currentPlayer] = places[currentPlayer] - 12;

                System.out.println(players.get(currentPlayer)
                        + "'s new location is "
                        + places[currentPlayer]);
                System.out.println("The category is " + currentCategory());

            }

        } else {

            places[currentPlayer] = places[currentPlayer] + roll;

More readable?

public void executeMove(int roll) {
   print(players.get(currentPlayer) + " is the current player");
   print("They have rolled a " + roll);

   if (inPenaltyBox[currentPlayer]) {
       boolean rollIsOdd = roll % 2 != 0;

       if (rollIsOdd) {
          playerGetsOutOfPenaltyBox();

          moveTheCurrentPlayer(roll);

          askTheNextQuestion();
       } else {
          playerDoesNotGetOutOfPenaltyBox();
       }
   } else {
       moveTheCurrentPlayer(roll);

       askTheNextQuestion();
   }
}

Refactored conditionals

  • Extract the variable rollsOdd to explain the conditional expression
  • Extract player gets out of penalty box behaviour into a method
  • Extract player does not get out of penalty box behaviour into method
  • Extract the end of the board conditional expression into a variable

Refactored conditionals

  • Extract the behaviour of really executing a move into a method
  • Extract move the current player behaviour into a method
  • Extracted the ask the next question behaviour into a method
  • Inlined the move the player and ask the next question

What's next?

Roll

Penalty Box

Player

Category

Move

Board

Questions

Position
