This library is currently under active development, and is not yet a full representaion of the data available.
Documentation and examples are available in the project wiki.
NOTE: This library is in active development and the API may change at any time without warning.
Prerequisites: git, Scala 2.9, Maven
git clone [email protected]:ecopony/scala-gameday-api.git

> var team = "sea"
> var game = Game(date, team)
> game.homeTeamNameFull # res1: String = Seattle Mariners
Typing 'game.' and then tabbing for tab-completion will show all methods available on a game instance.
