Gameplay

• As described here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chase_(video_game)

Technology

The tool will be written in Go exploring the following:

• Deepening my knowledge of Go routines
• Usage of channels
• Localities
• Interfaces
• Generics (if possible)

Phases

Step 1: Finish the game

• Make the game in a functioning state

  Step 2: Split into modules

• Split the game in separate module

  Step 3: Go routines

• Put robots in separate go routines and experiment with localities

  Step 4: Beautify the game

• Work on #8, #9, #10 and make it something nice to look at.
