Gameplay

• Drone Bees have 50 HP and take 12 damage per hit
• Worker Bees have 75 HP and take 10 damage per hit
• Queen Bee has 100 HP and takes 8 damage per hit

How to play

• Hit the Hit! button until all bees HP are 0
• If the Queen Bee's HP hits 0, you win!
• The game will reset upon a win!

What could be improved

• Child bee's could do with an interface, to ensure they have the correct methods
• The 'unknown bee type' exception is not handled in the BeeFactory
• There are no unit tests!!! Doh!
• The UI is horrific
• There is no type hinting and no return type hinting
• A specific bee could be hit by changing the icons to a button and returning its ID
• Due to being solely written in PHP, the page flashes upon hit
• It is difficult to tell which bee has been hit without further work
• The bee type could be handled by reflecting the class name
• Due to being in PHP, the hit button must be handled as a form submission. This would work much more efficiently with Javascript handing back objects. The current implementation is fragile as it requires a naming convention to be met by the front end
• The initial load should be handled by the BeeFactory to create the swarm, but was left as a loop due to time constraints

Suggested unit tests

• With a model factory, the BeeFactory should at least be tested to ensure it returns correct Bee objects
• The AbstractBee class should be mocked and tested for takeDamage()
• createSwarmFromArray in the BeeFactory should also be tested to ensure it handles malformed arrays. Currently it will fail poorly if the correct formatting is not met
