NAME

Games::Risk - classical 'risk' board game

SYNOPSIS

use Games::Risk;
Games::Risk->spawn;
POE::Kernel->run;
exit;

DESCRIPTION

Risk is a strategic turn-based board game. Players control armies, with which they attempt to capture territories from other players. The goal of the game is to control all the territories (conquer the world) through the elimination of the other players. Using area movement, Risk ignores realistic limitations, such as the vast size of the world, and the logistics of long campaigns.

This module implements a graphical interface for this game.

PUBLIC METHODS

my $id = Games::Risk->spawn( \%params )

This method will create a POE session responsible for a classical risk game. It will return the poe id of the session newly created.

You can tune the session by passing some arguments as a hash reference. Currently, no params can be tuned.

BUGS

Please report any bugs or feature requests to bug-games-risk at rt.cpan.org, or through the web interface at http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/ReportBug.html?Queue=Games-Risk. I will be notified, and then you'll automatically be notified of progress on your bug as I make changes.

You might also want to check jRisk, a java-based implementation of Risk, which inspired me quite a lot.
