Delivery Place the product of this week’s milestone into your repo as follows:
for the Programming Task, place
human-player.PP in the Player/ directory
game-visualizer.PP in the Admin/ directory
tournament-visualizer.PP in the Admin/ directory
for the Demo Task, place xgui in a repo-level directory named 9
Programming Task People want to watch games and tournaments; some even think they are better than AIs and wish to play games.
a component that allows human beings to compete against AI players,
a component that visualizes the progress of games, or
a component that visualizes the progress of a tournaments.
The design of the visuals and/or interactions are up to you, and we will not evaluate those. We will evaluate your code.
Demo Task Create an executable named xgui The program consumes a single command line argument, the number of players involved in either a game or a tournament.
If you choose to implement a game observer, the xgui executable starts up a game with the specified number of AI players. If you choose to implement a human player component, the xgui executable starts up a game with the specified number of AI players plus one human player. If you choose to implement a tournament observer, the xgui executable starts up game tournament with the specified number of AI players. People should then be able to observe games, participate as players, or observe a tournament. As the program shuts down, it must remove the GUI elements too.
