Imagine yourself in a room with 20 coders, one laptop, and one big screen. Two seats are near the computer for the first pair of programmers, and there are enough seats for the other programmer pairs who will observe before taking their turn at the keyboard.

The kata we used that day was the Bowling Game. The goal of the Bowling Game, as explained on the Coding Dojo website, is to “create a program, which, given a valid sequence of rolls for one line of American Ten-Pin Bowling, produces the total score for the game.”
