This project is the result of a coding challenge. The goal was to implement a Mancala game, specifically the Ouril variant from Cape Verde.
It was set up using Angular as famework. The game logic is implemented in an object-oriented manner using vanilla TypeScript while the individual pits visualize the number of currently contained seeds using d3.js and its circle packing algorithm including a physics simulation. The layout of the game is realized using Angular components and Bootstrap.
Run npm start for a dev server. Navigate to http://localhost:4200/. The application will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.
Run npm build to build the project. The build artifacts will be stored in the dist/ directory.
Run npm test to execute the unit tests via Karma.
- Implementing additional Mancala variants from other countries, such as Oware (with a focus on sharing as much logic as possible)
- More detailed visualization of the game field, such as a move preview or summation of currently contained seeds in a pit
- Improved resizing behavior
- Saving game state between reloads
- Sound effects (SFX)
- Progressive Web App (PWA) capabilities
- Online matches
