I always find it's very good to start simply. Make the simplest spec you can imagine, then the next, and so on...
What is a spec? Some of this stuff might seem so obvious... for example... when you start playing your game, you expect that it'll present you with something... write a test for that. Basically any time you're doing something yourself to run your code, you should be able to spec it. That way you don't have to manually test things out. So I've got a basic question: have you started building your game? Do you have any idea of the requirements at all?
