It’s not entirely clear whether the author is describing a single or multiplayer game. Among the errors in the multiplayer case is the lack of score attribution which isn’t a bug with channels as much as it’s using an int channel when you n

One nit: reflect.Select supports a dynamic set of channels. Very few programs need it though, so a rough API isn’t a bad trade-off. In my entire experience with Go, I’ve needed it once, and it worked perfectly.

Whew, that's a relief! If I understand correctly, then I think you'll have a better experience if you practice doing something like this when writing tests: foo, fooErr := doit() require.NotNil(foo) require.NoError(fooErr)

People congregate around water sources. They don't just gather anywhere and make it happen. Ports are where they are due to the location having the necessary resources to support a population servicing a useful(1) industry. Similarly,

This example isn't particularly good code. If you've got "lots of code" that names a bunch of variables (e.g. using ':=') that are never referenced AND you have a good reason not to do so (which I doubt: given
