Setup

Ensure you type the ea keyboard shortcut to evaluate all Elixir cells before starting. Alternatively you can evaluate the Elixir cells as you read.

Bomb Defusal

We’re going to create a bomb defusal game.

There will be multiple bombs that need to be defused. If any of the bombs go off the entire game will be reset.

A BombSupervisor will supervise three Bombs. If any of the bombs detonate, every bomb detonates.

  S[BombSupervisor]
  C1[Bomb]
  C2[Bomb]
  C3[Bomb]

  S --> C1
  S --> C2
  S --> C3

That means when a Bomb process dies, the BombSupervisor will restart every Bomb process.

Create A New Mix Project

Using the command line, create a new supervised project in the projects folder called bomb_defusal.

mix new bomb_defusal --sup

Evaluate the cell below to ensure you have correctly created the project.

Utils.feedback(:created_project, "bomb_defusal")

Dialyzer, Credo, and ExDoc are optional for this project.

Create the Bomb GenServer

Create a Bomb GenServer. It should start as a minimal GenServer with no functionality.

Configure the BombSupervisor

Configure the BombSupervisor to start in application.ex. It should start with 3 Bomb GenServers as children.

:explode

Send a Bomb an :explode message. It should handle the message by terminating. The BombSupervisor should automatically restart all of the Bomb processes.

(Bonus) :cut

We will defuse bombs by sending them a :cut message with a :red, :white, or :black wire.

When a Bomb is initialized, it should store a randomized wire of either :red, :white, or :black in it’s state as the correct wire to defuse the bomb.

If the wire from the :cut message is correct, defuse the bomb.

A defused bomb will no longer terminal when sent the :explode message.

(Bonus) Timer

Add a Timer GenServer under the BombSupervisor tree.

The Timer should store a 5 minute timer which decrements every second.

Every time a :cut message is sent to a bomb with an incorrect value, the Timer should decrement by 30 seconds.

When the Timer reaches 0 it should terminate the BombSupervisor which should automatically restart under the application supervisor.

Run the following in your command line from the project folder to track and save your progress in a Git commit.
