python labyrinth.py : Runs a simulated game once with a verbose output
python interactive_labyrinth.py : Runs a game with human players
python find_best_board.py : Tries multiple simulations to find a "fair" board
(use SIGINT to print the best starting board found)
To setup a game of Labyrinth, a bunch of maze tiles need to be randomly placed on the gameboard. Each player starts in a different corner of the board and traverses the maze to collect tokens. Since the tiles were placed randomly, it seems like some players have a lot more freedom to move about the maze than others.
The primary aim of this project is to try and find the "fairest" starting board with a secondary aim of looking into whether different rules could improve the game.
- Create a gameboard with the tiles placed randomly
- Slide tiles horizontally and vertically when the floating tile is pushed
- Add tokens that players need to pickup
- Add "ai" to play the game
- Add an interactive mode to allow humans to play against ai
- Implement some of the game rule changes
- Cleanup file structure
