Terminal mode controls
- You are Player 1. Your objective is to move your red pawn from the top of the board to the bottom of the board
- Player 2 starts at the bottom and is attempting to reach the top of the board
- On each turn you can either move your pawn or add one fence piece to the board (you have 10 to start with)
Moving a pawn
- Use the cursor keys to choose where to move to. Your pawn may only move one square on each turn and cannot move diagonally
- The "[ ]" mark where your pawn will move and is coloured green for a valid move and red for invalid
- Once you have selected a move, press enter to move the pawn
Adding a fence
- Press tab to switch from pawn to fence mode
- Use the cursor keys to choose where to add the fence
- Fences must not cross other fences, or completely block either player from reaching their goal. An invalid fence position will be shown in red
- To rotate the fence, press space
- Once you have positioned the fence, press enter to place it
Command line options
Help
zig build run -- -h
To watch machine vs machine matches forever:
zig build run -- -1 machine -2 machine -f
On exit, a record of all moves is printed in both Glendenning format and base64. The base64 format can be reloaded with zig build run -- -l jcNJujqxKRY2sA==
