The Pair Programming "Game"

2 "Players" alternate rolls "Fry" and "Zoidberg"

1. Fry Makes the simplest test that can possibly fail

• Usually using "AAA Testing": Arrange, Act, Assert

1. Zoidberg makes the test pass in the simplest way possible (by being adversarial)

• a heuristic for "Simplest" is the Transformation Priority Premise

1. Zoidberg makes the next simplest test that can possibly fail
2. Fry makes the test pass in the simplest way possible (by being adversarial)
3. Repeat until completed

Example game using Gin Rummy "Melds"
