A generalized implementation of Shift-Tac-Toe in Python with a GUI (PySimpleGUI) and command line interface to the library. Allows arbitrary rows, columns, pieces, shifting spaces. To play the actual Shift-Tac-Toe game from 1988 (https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/23318/shift-tac-toe), the board needs to be changed to have dimensions 3 x 3 with a shift of 2 and initial shift of 1. The GUI and cmd line versions have a save and load function. They can be used with each other, but it may cause an error. Currently, the GUI saves the color of the piece as the piece in the grid, which will cause issues if the value is not a color.
The main library is ShiftTacToe.py. It is not set up as a game, and thus there are no functions to determine a 'win' condition.
The gui is built with PySimpleGUI (https://www.pysimplegui.org). The default board size and interface is shown below as well as screenshots with a larger board.
For really large boards, or just for space, the options side panel can be hidden via the top menu.
These demonstrate a few features such as custom cell size, the board grid width, custom colors, and changing the board. It is important to note that the top section deletes the current board while the bottom options are non-destructive.
From the menu, the game mode can be turned on, which allows the user to select the number of players. When started, the program will automatically switch between the colors of pieces for that many players. This lets any number of people play a game on any size board. There is no win condition since, for arbitrary size boards, players may make different win conditions.
The interface is basic and was created simply to test out some features and for debugging.
