Textbaduk2

Textbaduk2 is a collection of header and source files meant for simulating a game of Go/Baduk in C++ The goal of this program is to allow a game of go for the simply run in the terminal with or without an user interface quickly and let humans and/or other programs to play.

See Qeolvdxu/termGo for an example on how to use this for a basic go board (You must install this library where your compiler can see it (there is a script included to install locally))

There are also TUI elements with the Board class for viewing the game in a terminal found in BoardGUI.cpp (this function is separate because it is optional and can be deleted)

Structure

The game is made up of these 2 classes

• Stones: This class is used to store variables about an exact location on the game board

  • The class is initialized with no input variables
  • It contains 4 children which are pointers to the stones which location puts them above, below, left, and right relative to the main stone
  • It contains a character which the spot on the board is represented by (these should be either a players character or a '+')
  • It contains a boolean for being marked by the capture process to see if the stone has already been checked
  • There are functions for setting and returning all of these variables

• Boards: This class is the main component and includes the graphical aspects, all of the stones, and manages the game itself

  • It contains one 2D-array of pointers to all of the stones in the game which is equal to the size of the game squared
  • The class is initialized with a size variable in the form of an integer so specify the length and height of the board
  • printBoard() prints everything the user will see except for errors and other system messages
  • placeStone() lets a player place a stone on the specified coordinates in the form (row, column) and returns a boolean which specifies if the placement is safe or it is an illegal move
  • changePlayer() will rotate the current player out of the next player in line
  • checkCap() will check the group of the specified stone if it is captured or not and deals with that capture
