Introduction

The Catan game project is a C++ implementation of the Settlers of Catan board game. The game involves players building settlements, roads, and cities to gather resources and gain victory points. The player with the most victory points at the end of the game wins.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Ensure you have a C++ compiler (like g++ or clang++) installed on your system.

Building the Project

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/your-username/catan-game.git
   cd catan-game

2. Compile the project:

   g++ -o catan main.cpp Catan.cpp Player.cpp Board.cpp DevCard.cpp Knight.cpp VictoryPoint.cpp RoadBuilding.cpp YearOfPlenty.cpp Monopoly.cpp

3. Run the executable:

   ./catan

Usage

To start the game, run the compiled executable. The game will initialize the players, board, and development cards, then proceed with the game turns. Follow the on-screen instructions to play according to the board picture.

• When you need to choose a place for a road, choose the pink number of the edge tile (0-71).
• When you need to place a settlement or city, choose the black number of the vertex tile (0-53).

Classes Overview
