Detailed Description

A class that represents the game of Hnefatafl.

This class provides methods to initialize the game board, handle player moves,

check game conditions, and implement a basic bot for playing against the player.

Member Function Documentation

bot()

std::pair< int, int > Hnefatafl::bot

(

int

player

)

A basic bot to play against the player.

Parameters

player

The player (WHITE or BLACK) for whom the bot will play.

Returns

A pair representing the bot's chosen move as (row, col).

covertMove()

std::pair< int, int > Hnefatafl::covertMove

(

const std::string

move

)

Converts a string-based move to board coordinates.

Parameters

move	The move as a string.

Returns

A pair representing the move as (row, col).

getPiece()

int Hnefatafl::getPiece	(	int	row,
		int	col
	)

Gets the piece at a specific position on the board.

Parameters

row	The row index of the position.
col	The column index of the position.

Returns

The piece at the specified position.

handleNeighboursCaptured()

void Hnefatafl::handleNeighboursCaptured	(	int	row,
		int	col
	)

Checks if neighbouring pieces of target piece are captured.

Parameters

row	The row index of the target piece.
col	The column index of the target piece.

isCaptured()

bool Hnefatafl::isCaptured

(

std::pair< int, int >

position

)

Checks if a piece at the given position is captured.

Parameters

position

The position of the piece as a pair of (row, col).

Returns

true if the piece is captured, false otherwise.

isGameOver()

bool Hnefatafl::isGameOver

(

)

Checks if the game is over.

Returns

true if the game is over (either by king capture or escape), false otherwise.

isKingCaptured()

bool Hnefatafl::isKingCaptured

(

)

Checks if the king is captured.

Returns

true if the king is captured, false otherwise.

isValidInput()

bool Hnefatafl::isValidInput

(

const std::string &

input

)

Check for vaild inputs.

Parameters

input

The input from the user

Returns

true if the input is valid, false otherwise.

move()

std::pair< int, int > Hnefatafl::move	(	std::pair< int, int >	source,
		std::pair< int, int >	target
	)

Moves a piece from the source position to the target position.

Parameters

source	The source position as a pair of (row, col).
target	The target position as a pair of (row, col).

Returns

A pair representing the result of the move.

populateBoard()

void Hnefatafl::populateBoard

(

)

Initializes the game board.

The board is represented as a 2D array of integers:

0: Empty square

1: White piece

2: Black piece

3: King piece

4: King's square

The board is 11x11 with the center square initially occupied by the king.

The white pieces are placed in a star pattern around the king, with the black pieces in the middle of each side.

The king's squares are in the corners of the board and are the win condition for the king.

run()

int Hnefatafl::run

(

)

Run the game.

Returns

Whether should return to the main menu (0) or exit the program (1)
