KSquares

Introduction

KSquares is a KDE implementation of the game "squares"

Overview

The overall game is masterminded from KSquaresWindow. That class creates a KSquaresGame object which handles the game logic such as moving from player to player and tracking when points are scored. The information for each player is stored in KSquaresPlayer of which KSquaresGame has an array. When a KSquaresGame event occurs it emits a signal which is picked up by the KSquaresWindow and passed onto the GameBoardScene which is responsible for holding the information about the game board. The GameBoardScene emits signal when a line is drawn which passes via the KSquaresWindow back to KSquaresGame.

Layout of indices

In KSquaresGame, GameBoardScene and aiController there is a consistent indexing rule for accesing the tables.

For the list of squares and their owners, the indices simply count from left to right along the top row of the board, then along the second row etc.

For the list of lines and whether they're drawn, the indices count from left to right along the top row of horizontal lines, then (left to right) along the first row of vertical lines etc.
