I’ve been using jasmine at work as a javascript test framework to cover front-end code with all sorts of tests. Recently, on one particular spec, I needed to capture the values returned by a spied upon fonction, without completely interrupting the code execution.

Here’s my attempt at an implementation.

Rules are simple:

Guess by submitting with your keyboard numbers from 0-9 After pressing 4 digits the guess is automatically submitted The result shows symbols: * no symbol means no digit is in the code to guess * a ‘-’ means one of the digits is in the code to guess, but not at the correct place * a ‘+’ means one of the digits is in the code to guess, AND at the correct place If a digit exists twice in the code to guess, symbols do not represent it, you will have to get it by yourself! An alert is displayed when the code is found, and the game reset
