Rules of a Randori Session

• The presenter explains the coding challenge and devides the group into teams of approx. 5 persons
• The presenter starts the Randori with a pair from audience.
• The pair will use TDD (Test-Driven Development).
• Only one in the pair are allowed to touch the keyboard.
• One half of the pair is changed every 5 minutes. The one coding goes in the audience and the other part of the pair starts coding with a new partner.
• The pair on the keyboard should continuously explain what they are doing.
• The audience are not allowed to intervene in the coding, but are allowed to ask the coding pair questions.
• The pair coding should stop when someone from the audience falls off the sled — and only continue when that someone is back on track again.

Happy coding! :)
