This project concerns an implementation of a board game called Spectrangle in Java. Spectrangle is a triangular tile based abstract strategy game. The game can have between 1 and 4 players and it takes a playing time of about 45 minutes. The triangular tiles, also called trangs, come double sided with a permutation of colors consisting red, yellow, green, cyan, and magenta. In addition, the tiles consist of a Joker with white colors on all its sides. Furthermore, each tile comes with a number that indicates its value with respect to other tiles. The board itself contains marked locations that will grant a player bonus point. The game consists of 36 tiles, a board and a scoring mechanism for each player.
The game is implemented by using the principles of object oriented programming knowledge acquired during module 2 - software systems. In this implementation, mirroring of the tiles (trangs) is neglected.
The implementation makes use of a client/server functionality and allows one to play the board game of Spectrangle as a singleplayer, multiplayer or against an artificial intelligence.
Note for correctors: /out folder contains compiled .class files, which can be used to play the game without compiling it yourself using java from command line.
In order to play the game simply download the zip file and run CliantMain.java. Further information can be found in the JavaDocs of the classes.
This is a program written in Java, and thus the latest Java Runtime Environment (JDE)
