Game-Engine

About

This project is part of Programming Languages Paradigms Course at AU-FOE-CSED, the goal of this code is better technical understanding for three paradigms which are:

• OOP using Javascript
• Functional Programming using Scala
• Logical Programming using Prolog

Project

The primary objective of this project is to develop a Game Engine that simplifies the process of creating board-like games. The project is divided into two phases:

First Phase (Game Controller)

Use scala and javascript to make two seperate Generic Game Engines and using each of them create 6 games (total of 12 games) Games to be created:

• Tic-Tac-Toe
• Chess
• 8-Queens
• Connect 4
• Checkers
• Sudoku

The engine will have only two responsibilities:

• Drawing the board and pieces
• Enforce the rules of moving pieces

The engine will NOT

• Have intelligence for playing against the player
• Check the winner, or calculate the scores
• Save/Load the game status

---

Second Phase (Game Solver)

This phase focus on developing a solver in the Scala engine for two specific games - Sudoku and 8-Queens. These solvers will be implemented using Prolog logical programming language. When playing either of these games, the user will have the option to click on a button that will solve the game in its current state. If the game is unsolvable, the solver will report that there is no solution available.

Installation

• Javascript Installation:

  • Open repo on vscode
  • Install live server extension
  • Open javascript\index.html
  • Click Go Live

• Scala Installation:

  • Open Scala\scalaengine on vscode as main directory
  • Install metals extension
  • In metals extension click "import build"
  • In metals extension click "Cascade compile"
  • In src\main\scala\Main.scala click run (at the top of the object GameEngine)

Key learnings

• Inheritance
• Polymorphism
• Encapsulation
• Abstraction
• Higher Order Functions
• Logical Programming Optmizations
