Quarters Board Game project is a strategy game for two players.

Although its rules are relatively simple, it still offers some of the same opportunities for skill as in chess.

This program was originally conceived in the summer of 1986 during a study of the mini-max algorithm for chess playing computers, and was thus designed to offer some of the same type of strategies.

The game was originally written in BASIC, then ported to Turbo Pascal, then to C, and finally to Java.

The Java version is not necessarily object oriented, since it is a crude port from the C version.

Java Games project is a collection of simple games that are compiled into Java applets and meant to be played online in a Web browser.

Currently the collection contains four games: XO World (similar to tic-tac-toe, but with lines of 5 on a 10x10 board); 100 Mack (guess the random combination of 4 images out of a set of six); Memory (flip 2 plates at a time to find matching pairs); and Tetris.

eboard is a graphical client to internet chess servers, an interface to computer chess engines and a tool for visualization, analysis and study of chess games.

gewee game is a Go-like board game with "next generation" graphics.

This is a game between a human ("player") and a computer ("opponent"). The players objective is to accumulate as many points as possible. When the player wins a game, a point is added to his/her score. When the player loses a game, a point is subtracted from his/her score. The competitor with the most pieces on the board at the end of the game is the winner. A game is finished when a competitor forfeits, or has no valid empty square to place a piece on. The opponent is granted additional moves at the start of a game based on the players score.

Each competitor has a distinct set of pieces of the same shape and color. The competitors take turns placing one piece on an empty square on the board. A piece or group of pieces that has no empty square adjacent to it is removed from the board.

Games::Go::SGF is a Perl module that can parse and dissect Standard Go Format files.

SYNOPSIS

use Games::Go::SGF;
my $sgf = new Games::Go::SGF($sgfdata);
print "Game played on ".$sgf->date."n";
print $sgf->white. " (W) vs. ".$sgf->black." (B)n";
print "Board size: ".$sgf->size.". Komi: ".$sgf->komi."n";

while ($move = $sgf->move($move_no++)) {
print "$move_no: ".$move->move,"n";
}

This is a very simple SGF file parser, of currently limited functionality. It can read and step through SGF files, follow variations, and so on. Its good enough for getting simple statistics about games of Go, and building up Games::Go::Board objects representing games stored as SGF.

$sgf->move returns either a normal Games::Go::SGF::Node or a Games::Go::SGF::Variation object. They behave exactly the same, but the variation object has the additional methods mainline() to get the main line of the game, variation($n) to get the first node in the nth variation, and variations to retrieve an array of variations. $variation->move will, by default, follow the mainline.
