A distributed implementation of the 2-player version of the Santorini board game (without God cards).
Instructions can be found here.
- Writing clean interfaces
- Object-oriented design patterns (namely, the Proxy, Template and Strategy patterns)
- Designing by contract
- Building software while following exact specifications
- Building software able to interact with distributed components of a given specification (without assuming implementation details)
- Unit + system testing
- Reviewing, discussing and defending code, design decisions and implementations.
Implemented for my software construction class.
First, make the bash scripts executable:
chmod +x santorini.sh player_driver.shTo start the administrator:
./santorini.sh [option] ... [-cup n | -league n]
Where n is the number of remote players the administrator will accept. If n is not a power of two, local players will be substituted in and will play random moves. If n is 1, 1 local player will be added.
The cup option will play a knockout style tournament.
The league option will play a round-robin style tournament.
To start a remote player:
./player_driver.sh [strategy] ... [random | look-ahead | interactive | greedy | cheating]
Where strategy is the specified type of strategy for the remote player.
The santorini.config file contains the host and port on which the administrator should run, and the remote players should connect to.
Simply change the "host" and "port" values to your liking for the administrator and give the details to your remote players so they can do the same.
The value for "default-player" contains the path to the definition of the default player that the administrator substitutes in. This assumes the default Player component is called Player, will be imported from the given path and instantiated.
In Strategies.py, various strategy components can be found, each with a different behaviour corresponding to the command line arguments.
InteractiveStrategy is the one that allows remote players to make their own (interactive) moves. All others make automated moves.
For more information, dig into the Strategies.py file.
