Games::Board - a parent class for board games
version 1.014
use Games::Board; my $board = Games::Board->new; $board->add_space( id => 'go', dir => { next => 'mediterranean', prev => 'boardwalk' }, cost => undef ); my $tophat = Games::Board::Piece->new(id => 'tophat')->move(to => 'go');
This module provides a base class for representing board games.
This module should work on any version of perl still receiving updates from the Perl 5 Porters. This means it should work on any version of perl released in the last two to three years. (That is, if the most recently released version is v5.40, then this module should work on both v5.40 and v5.38.)
Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the minimum required version will not be increased. The version may be increased for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl.
This method constructs a new game board and returns it. As constructed it has no spaces or pieces on it.
my $space = $board->space($id);
This method returns the space with the given $id. If no space with that id exists, undef is returned.
$id
my $space = $board->add_space(%args);
This method adds a space to the board. It is passed a hash of attributes to use in creating a Games::Board::Space object. The object is created by calling the constructor on the class whose name is returned by the spaceclass method. This class must inherit from Games::Board::Space.
spaceclass
This method returns the class used for pieces on this board.
This method returns the class used for spaces on this board.
my $piece = $board->add_piece(%args)
This method adds a piece to the board. It is passed a hash of attributes to use in creating a Games::Board::Piece object. The object is created by calling the constructor on the class whose name is returned by the piececlass method. This class must inherit from Games::Board::Piece.
