Ex4: 6 Colors Game

Docker

You can build and run the image using the following command:

docker build -t ex4-6-colors .
docker run -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix --rm ex4-6-colors

Overview:

This is a strategic game where two players (user vs CPU or two users) compete to claim the majority of a board by changing the color of connected shapes.

Key Features:

  • Efficient Board Creation: The board is generated in $O(n)$ time.
  • Game Modes: Choose between single-player (vs CPU) or multiplayer modes.
  • Customizable: Players can resize the map.

Rules:

  1. Player 1 starts at the bottom-left, and Player 2 (user or CPU) starts at the top-right. Both start colored black.
  2. On each turn, a player picks a color from 6 options. All adjacent shapes of that color are claimed and recolored.
  3. The game continues until a player controls 50% of the board.
  4. Players cannot choose colors already in use by themselves or the opponent.

Classes:

ShapeCell:

  • Manages a shape and its neighboring connections.
  • Can merge with adjacent shapes of the same color.
  • Randomly splits into triangles if it’s a square.

Board:

  • Holds the ShapeCell vector and manages the board layout.
  • Efficiently constructed in O(n) time.

Controller:

  • Manages gameplay, player turns, and board rendering.
  • Tracks board control percentage and declares the winner.
  • Handles game settings, including board resizing and mode changes.

Player:

  • Base class for players, managing their claimed shapes and chosen color.

CPU (Derived from Player):

  • Uses a recursive algorithm to make optimal color choices based on neighboring cells.

Person (Derived from Player):

  • Accepts color choices from the user via the toolbar.

Toolbar:

  • Displays color options for players to choose from.
  • Provides user input for turns and settings.

ImageLoader:

  • Singleton class for loading and accessing game images.

Known Bugs:

  • In multiplayer mode, the starting cell is not shaded correctly.
