Breakthrough-Graphic-Interface
Graphic interface for the game Breakthrough developed in PROLOG by Pedro Castro. The communication between languages was achieved through sockets. The graphic interface is a WebGL based software using JavaScript and XML for scene definition and rendering.
Rules of the Game
A player has a golden fleet which includes the red ship and twelve guards. The objective of this player is to avoid capture whilst he/she conducts the red ship towards the end of the board. The other player has a silver fleet of 20 ships and his/her objective is to capture the red ship. Each player can move a piece on the horizontal or vertical direction. Each move has a cost depending on the executed movement. For example, moving the red ship has the maximum cost which is 2. At the start of the game, each player has 2 move points as well as 1 capture point to spend. A simple movement has the cost of 1.
