Model

Main Objects of the Model

  • Game (Model)
    • The encapsulating object that contains all algorithms and constructs of Quoridor
  • Board
    • The board that holds n x n spaces. (n must be odd and n >= 5)
  • Space
    • The tile that holds the player, and is surrounded by fences
    • Has top, left, right, bottom Fence attributes.
    • Contains a player
    • Player (1/2)
      • A pawn controlled by a player.
      • A player can move from space to space
    • Fence
      • A barrier that the player cannot hop over
      • Can be valid (usable by the player) (inner Fences) or invalid (Not used by the player; default state of border).
      • Can be placed (Automatically the outside ring of fences) or not placed (the inner fences until changed by a Player).

Classes:

Model

Variables
  • ArrayList<ArrayList< Space > board;
  • Stores game data.
    • Constructor:
    ArrayList<ArrayList<Space>>() board;
public Board(int size){
  board = new ArrayList<ArrayList<Space>();
  for // initiate the 2d ArrayList
  // fill values of arraylist
  // exclude() means that the space is placed but not valid
  for x..
    for y..
    if(x == 0) {
      space.top.exclude();
    }else if (x == size - 1) {
      space.bottom.exclude();
    }
    if(y == 0) {
      space.left.exclude();
    }else if(y == size - 1) {
      space.right.exclude();
    }
  }
