it is almost the same.

here exercism challenge looks like this :

Scoring Bowling

The game consists of 10 frames. A frame is composed of one or two ball throws with 10 pins standing at frame initialization. There are three cases for the tabulation of a frame.

Here is a three frame example:

Frame 1 Frame 2 Frame 3
X (strike) 5/ (spare) 9 0 (open frame)

Frame 1 is (10 + 5 + 5) = 20

Frame 2 is (5 + 5 + 9) = 19

Frame 3 is (9 + 0) = 9

This means the current running total is 48.

The tenth frame in the game is a special case. If someone throws a strike or a spare then they get a fill ball. Fill balls exist to calculate the total of the 10th frame. Scoring a strike or spare on the fill ball does not give the player more fill balls. The total value of the 10th frame is the total number of pins knocked down.

For a tenth frame of X1/ (strike and a spare), the total value is 20.

For a tenth frame of XXX (three strikes), the total value is 30.

Requirements

Write code to keep track of the score of a game of bowling. It should support two operations:


and the input is like this :��

test05_ConsecutiveSparesEachGetAOneRollBonus
������ | result |
������ result := bowlingCalculator
������ ������ scoreAfterRolling: #(5 5 3 7 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0).
������ self assert: result equals: 31

or is it different?

Double dispatch is a programming technique,
not an end in itself.

A weird thing about the exercism site is that you can
see *solutions* to problems for a language even if you
cannot see the *problems* themselves.�� So I have seen
*solutions* to Bowling in several languages; some with
no objects at all, and some using single dispatch only.
This is a 'medium' problem, meaning the solution is
maybe 2 or 3 pages.

KEEP IT SIMPLE.
Not every *concept* needs to be a *class*.

Hello,

Just thinking how to solve the bowling challenge from exercism.

but I wonder if I can do something like this in the method that checks
if I have the right object

I was thinking about this :

Result
-- Strike
-- Spare
-- allOther

then In�� Strike something like this

checkForBonus: number1 score2: number2
���� ^ number1 + number2 == 10

or am I thinking the totally wrong way to solve this?
