Block the Pig

This is a remake of the Block the Pig game in Rust. I played this game originally on the phone and, after many hours of playing with friends, found the optimal strategy (and achieved a high score of 198 rounds beaten). Having done that, I was interested in creating a clone of the game--and adding more features in the process--as well as an agent to solve the game algorithmically.

Directory Structure

• src/
  • board.rs The representation of the game board, agnostic of the pig; it just stores the tiles on the map.
  • game.rs The representation of the state of the game, i.e. the pig and the map.
  • main.rs The WIP driver for the game
  • maps.rs The implementations of various board configurations (currently just the classic 11x5 board)

Roadmap

I want this project to eventually be a well-designed, easily-customizable game driver with which one can create basic and more complex Block the Pig variants, potentially with multiple pigs.

As well, I would like to implement various agents for solving the game (though I have yet to show that this is a solved game...)

Finally, I would like to persist some leaderboard rankings, and maybe even host this on my website (which is also WIP...)
