## Gameplay
* As described here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chase_(video_game)

## Technology
The tool will be written in Go exploring the following:
* Deepening my knowledge of Go routines
* Usage of channels
* Localities
* Interfaces
* Generics (if possible)

## Phases
### Step 1: Finish the game
* ~~Make the game in a functioning state~~
### Step 2: Split into modules
* Split the game in separate modules [#1](https://gitea.ligthert.net/golang/rowboz/issues/1)
### Step 3: Go routines
* Put robots in separate go routines and experiment with localities
### Step 4: Beautify the game
* Work on [#8](https://gitea.ligthert.net/golang/rowboz/issues/8), [#9](https://gitea.ligthert.net/golang/rowboz/issues/9), [#10](https://gitea.ligthert.net/golang/rowboz/issues/10) and make it something nice to look at.
