Tennis

Ruby gem with utilities to manage, print and validate tennis scores

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'tennis'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install tennis

The gem assumes a score can be two or three sets (5 sets is partially supported, however it has bugs and it's not well tested).

The gem does a little processing on the input for some spacing, etc.

There are two players: 0 (home player) and 1 (away player)

Results refer to players 0 and 1 and are typically indexed for players 0 and 1. If a result has an array, it will typically have something (e.g. games won) for player 0 in index 0 and for player 1 in index 1.

irb> sc = Tennis.new("7-6,  4-6 , 6 - 2")
=> #<Tennis:....>
irb> sc.winner
=> 0            # this means the winner is the first player, a.k.a. player 0 or "home player"
irb> sc.sets_won
=> [2, 1]       # two sets one by player 0, one set by player 1
irb> sc.sets_lost
=> [1, 2]
irb> sc.games_won
=> [17, 14]
irb> score.games_lost
=> [14, 17]
irb> sc.to_s
=> "7-6, 4-6, 6-2"    # cleanly formatted score, as a string
irb> sc.flipped
=> "6-7, 6-4, 2-6"    # "flipped" score, from player 1's perspective
irb> sc.score         # score as an array of sets (each an array with player 0 and 1 scores)
=> [[7, 6], [4, 6], [6, 2]]
irb> sc.default?      # was this score a default?
=> false

The library supports a form of arbitrary (callers-epcific) defaults: any score starting with a p is considered a default, for example:

• p0-win- means player 0 won, e.g. p0-win-by-forfeit
• p1-win- means player 1 won, e.g. p1-win-by-retirement

irb> sc = Tennis.new("p1-win-injured")
=> #<Tennis:....>
irb> sc.winner
=> 1
irb> sc.sets_won
=> [0, 2]
irb> sc.games_won
=> [0, 12]
irb> sc.score
=> "Default"
irb> sc.to_s
=> "Default"
irb> sc.flipped
=> "Default"
irb> sc.default?
=> true

Proper support for 5-set matches. At the moment it kind of works for 5-set matches, however, it has not been tested and it probably is working in some edge conditions (and may be in some major ways).
