Rspec running program instead of tests

Hey everyone - silly question. I've been up working on this all weekend and copied a bunch of things from my other files into one place.

When I run rspec, it's currently running my program instead of running the tests.

Could you please take a look and let me know if you can see what's up? https://github.com/summerspirit/arcadian-spork

Thanks!

Naomi-

My first thoughts would be that in some of your tests (at least the noughtscrosses_spec) you're calling Game.play in the test which is going to run the actual game. Since play is in reality just calling out to other methods in a particular order, a test checking for result to not be nil from running Game.play probably isn't that helpful. Instead you may want to use a gem like Capybara for integration testing down the road.
