Wordsearch Kata Pillar

wordsearch-java-tdd

This is my solution to the wordsearch problem issued by Pillar. Some interesting facts that I hope you will consider in the assessment of this application.

• This is my second time working on a java application.
• Before this project I had never used junit.
• I believe there are more opportunities to tune this for performance.
• Whether or not this will adequately pass the codescreen, I would love feedback so that I can grow as a developer.

Dependencies

Linux/Unix Operating system with bash. I used Maven, make sure you have it installed.

Before Running

> scripts/build.sh

This will install any and all dependencies needed to run this application.

> scripts/test.sh

These should pass... but is essentially un-necessary

place properly formatted puzzles in .txt format in the "puzzles" directory at the root of this application.

To Run

> scripts/run.sh {puzzlename}.txt

the default example is pre-provided. Run it like this:

> scripts/run.sh puzzle1.txt
