62: Automated Testing

Continuing the trend of learning how things work by making them ourselves, we'll be recreating the fuc2 librar you used in Exercise 61. It's a very simple library, and if you recreate it you'll learn that test frameworks are nothing special.

When they're done with this they'll know how to create their own C++ library to share with others, and also how automated testing works.

The Code

I think the best way to do this is to maybe also teach a bit of git and have them get the project:

• https://lcthw.dev/cpp/fuc2 is the code
• Show how to check it out
• Demonstrate how to find everything
• Walk them through how to make their own version of it based on mine.
• Alternatively, tell them there's things I want and have them try to make a patch for it?
