Game Overview

Scotland Yard-Sim is a Java-based simulation of the classic board game "Scotland Yard." The game involves a strategic chase between the elusive Mister X and the detectives. The players take turns making moves, and the game continues until Mister X is captured or manages to escape.

Making your Bot!

Go try to make your own bot. There are different tactical approaches that you can try. To do so, you have to edit the getMove() in MisterXMoveStrategy.java/DetectiveMoveStrategy.java in the src. (If you change any state of the gameBoard during the getMove() - the programm won't run - look at the Error printing in your console). Look at the Documentation for more information about the board and it's behavior.

Happy gaming!
