Games::Go::Dg2Ps is a Perl extension to convert Games::Go::Diagrams to PostScript.

SYNOPSIS

use Games::Go::Dg2Ps
my $dg2ps = B convertDiagram($diagram);

Games::Go::Dg2Ps converts a Games::Go::Diagram into PostScript.

Games::Go::Dg2TeX is a Perl extension to convert Games::Go::Diagrams to TeX.

SYNOPSIS

use Games::Go::Dg2TeX
my $dg2tex = B convertDiagram($diagram);

A Games::Go::Dg2TeX object converts a Games::Go::Diagram object into TeX source code which can be used stand-alone, or it can be incorporated into larger TeX documents.

Games::Sequential::Position is a base Position class for use with Games::Sequential.

SYNOPSIS

package My::GamePos;
use base Games::Sequential::Position;

sub init { ... } # setup initial state
sub apply { ... }

package main;
my $pos = My::GamePos->new;
my $game = Games::Sequential->new($pos);

Games::Sequential::Position is a base class for position-classes that can be used with Games::Sequential. This class is provided for convenience; you dont need this class to use Games::Sequential. It is also possible to use this class on its own.

Games::AlphaBeta::Reversi is a Reversi position class for use with Games::AlphaBeta.

SYNOPSIS

package My::Reversi;
use base qw(Games::AlphaBeta::Reversi);

# implement drawing routine
sub draw { ... }

package main;
use My::Reversi;
use Games::AlphaBeta;

my ($p, $g);
$p = My::Reversi->new;
$g = Games::AlphaBeta->new($p);

while ($p = $g->abmove) {
$p->draw;
}

This module implements a position-object suitable for use with Games::AlphaBeta. It inherits from the Games::AlphaBeta::Position base class, so be sure to read its documentation. The methods implemented there will not be described here.

Games::Mastermind is a simple framework for MasterMind games.

SYNOPSIS

use Games::Mastermind;

# the classic game
$mm = Games::Mastermind->new;

# make a guess
$marks = $game->play(qw( Y C W R ));

# results
print "You win!n" if $marks->[0] == $mm->holes();

# the game history is available at all times
$history = $mm->history();
$last_turn = $mm->history()->[-1];

# reset the game
$mm->reset();

Games::Mastermind is a very simple framework for running Mastermind games.

Games::Euchre is an Euchre card game for humans and computers.

SYNOPSIS

Simply run my game wrapper:

% euchre.pl

or write your own:

use Games::Euchre;
use Games::Euchre::AI::Simple;
use Games::Euchre::AI::Human;

my $game = Games::Euchre->new();
foreach my $i (1..3) {
$game->setAI($i, Games::Euchre::AI::Simple->new());
}
$game->setAI(4, Games::Euchre::AI::Human->new());
$game->playGame();
my @scores = sort {$b $a} $game->getScores();
print("The winner is " . $game->getWinner()->getName() . " with a score of " .
"$scores[0] to $scores[1]n");

This software implements the card game of Euchre. The game is played with four players composing two teams. Any of the four players can be human or computer players, but more than one human is not well supported yet.

The Games::Euchre::AI module implements a simple framework for adding new classes of human interfaces or computer opponents. I recomment that AI writers use Games::Euchre::AI::Simple (a REALLY dumb computer opponent) as starting point.
Aside from the ::AI class and its descendents, this package also implements the following classes: Games::Euchre::Team, Games::Euchre::Player and Games::Euchre::Trick.

Games::3D is a package containing an object system for (not only) 3D games.

SYNOPSIS

use Games::3D::World;

my $world = Games::3D::World->new();

$world->save_to_file( $filename );

my $loaded = Games::3D::world->load_from_file( $filename );

my $thing1 = $world->add ( Games::3D::Thingy->new( ... ) );
my $thing2 = $world->add ( Games::3D::Thingy->new( ... ) );

$world->link($thing1, $thing2);

Games::3D::World provides you with a container class that will contain every object in your game object system. This are primarily objects that have states, change these states and need to announce the states to other objects.

The Games::3D::World container also enables you to save and restore snapshots of your objects system.

Basic things that you object system contains are derived from a class called Games::3D::Thingy. These can represent physical objects (buttons, levers, doors, lights etc) as well as virtual objects (trigger, sensors, links, markers, sound sources etc).

You can link Thingys together, either directly or via Games::3D::Links. The links have some more features than direct linking, which are explained below.

This package also provides you with Games::3D::Sensor, a class for objects that sense state changes and act upon them. Or not, depending on the sensor. Sensors are primarily used to watch for certain conditions and then act when they are met. Examples are the death of an object, values that go below a certain threshold etc.

State changes are transported in the object system with signals.
