Modeling the Debriefing Cube with algebraic data types (Lab)
by Cédric Pontet

In this session, we'll create a domain model, using the techniques from Scott Wlaschin's "Domain Modeling Made Functional". Our domain will be The Debriefing Cube, a game-like tool for safe debriefing with teams.

Our goal in this session will be to model the concepts of the cube and its cards, using only algebraic data types and functions. You'll work in small groups, and each group will come up with their own models representing the cube. We will then compare the different approaches and share ideas about the functional programming approach to modeling.

At the end of the session, we will explorer a fully working implementation of The Debriefing Cube, developed using F# and the SAFE stack (https://safe-stack.github.io ).

The Debriefing Cube has been designed at #play14 (https://play14.org ) to allow workshop facilitators to get better at debriefing their activities or games. It contains a die with different lenses (a.k.a. the cube) and a deck of cards with safe debriefing questions written on each of them. The tool has lived through many different versions and shapes, the simplest being the DIY pdf file (http://thedebriefingcube.com ), and the most advanced being an app.
