Martin Fowler's example in Ruby

Video Store refactoring exercise in ruby

This repo is the starting point of Martin Fowler's videostore refactoring example in Ruby. The following requirements have already been implemented.

A customer can printout his statement. On the statement must appear:

• The customer's name
• Each movie he rents, with its price
• The total amount owed
• The frequent renter points he's earned

For each movie category, some rules apply.

Regular movies:

• amount is $2.00 for the first 2 days
• an extra $1.50 is added for each additional day
• you get 1 frequent renter point

New releases:

• amount is $3.00 per day rented
• you get 1 frequent renter point for the first day
• you get 1 extra frequent renter point if you rent more than a day

Children's movies:

• amount is $1.50 for the first 3 days
• an extra $1.50 is added for each additional day
• you get 1 frequent renter point

Challenge

Refactor the existing code for the following new requirements:

• print an HTML customer statement.
• add an extra category with it's own rules

Setup

Unless you don't want to test during refactoring, you probably want to install rspec and ZenTest. Run 'gem install rspec ZenTest'. To start to test continuously, simply type 'autotest' in the root of this project.

Mac usrers might want to run 'gem install autotest-growl autotest-fsevent'
