NAME

Games::Domino - Interface to the Domino game.

VERSION

Version 0.23

DESCRIPTION

This is a very basic Domino game played by two players (Computer vs Human) at the moment. This is just an initial draft of Proof of Concept, also to get my head around the game which I have never played in my life before.There is a cheat flag which makes tiles for "Computer" visible to the other player "Human". Avoid this flag if possible.By default the cheat flag is turned off.There is a debug switch as well which is turned off by default. They are arranged like here before we shuffle to start the the game.

SYNOPSIS

Below is the working code for the Domino game using the Games::Domino package. The game script play-domino is supplied with the distribution and on install, is available to play with.

use strict; use warnings;
use Games::Domino;

select(STDOUT);
$|=1;

$SIG{'INT'} = sub {
    print {*STDOUT} "\n\nCaught Interrupt (^C), Aborting the game.\n"; exit(1);
};

my $game = Games::Domino->new;
print {*STDOUT} $game->instructions, "\n";

my ($response);
do {
    my $move = 1;
    do {
        my ($index);
        if ($move % 2 == 1) {
            print {*STDOUT} $game->show, "\n";
            do {
                print {*STDOUT} "Pick your tile [" . $game->get_available_tiles . "] or [B]? ";
                $index = <STDIN>;
                chomp $index;
            } until ($game->is_valid_tile($index));
        }

        $game->play($index);
        $move++;

    } until ($game->is_over);

    print {*STDOUT} $game->show, "\n";
    print {*STDOUT} $game->result, "\n";
    $game->reset;

    do {
        print {*STDOUT} "Do you wish to continue (Y/N)? ";
        $response = <STDIN>;
        chomp($response);
    } until (defined $response && ($response =~ /^[Y|N]$/i));

} until ($response =~ /^N$/i);
