An implementation of the 2000 board game Java (not related to the programming language). This project is based on an assignment from an OOP course from the University of Florida.

Link to project assignment.

The game will support 2 - 4 players. Each taking their turns using Action Points to build villages, palaces, irrigation systems, and rice fields. When attempting to place a game tile on the board, a highlighting overlay covers the area of the board affected. This highlighted tile can be moved and rotated before being placed.

The scoring and game rules are currently not supported and are up to the players to follow the rules. The rule book can be downloaded from Rio Grande's Website.

This is a work still in progress on iteration 1.

To run the program use the following command (replacing out with your class output directory):

java -cp ./lib/jline-1.0.jar:./lib/hamcrest-core-1.3.jar:./out/production/JavaTheBoardGame com.roryolsen.java.view.Screen

The game uses a console-based graphical interface built using a MVC architecture.

The view employs the Decorator design pattern. Decorators include: a border decorator that draws a character border around a decorated view, a region decorator that lets a small region of a view to act as it's own view (this allows the console to be split into regions for the board, game stats, and the controller output), and a scroll decorator that enables the board can be independently scrolled to view all game spaces.

All of the decorators are instances of View which has a draw method that writes to a particular position on the screen using cartesian coordinates. The Screen class extends View and prints the character data to the console output.

The GameController activates and deactivates other Controllers and delgates input to the appropriate Controller. When a key is pressed, the GameController delegates the keypress to the most recently active Controller that accepts the key pressed. Typically, the active Controller writes instructions to the screen. Most Controllers accept input of numbers keys to take action and navigate submenus

The model represents the functioning parts of the game. The main classes are:

• Game - Tracks the Board and the current Turn
• Board - Contains a Map of the BoardSpaces and their Coordinates
• BoardSpace - Has information such as the height of the current space and it's TerrainType
• Turn - Players use Action Points to place GameTiles on the Board during their Turn
• Player - Keeps each Player's score and their player number (1-4)
• GameTile - Information about the TerrainTypes that they are made up of. There are three types of GameTiless that are different sizes (1, 2, and 3 BoardSpaces).
