Scrabble Engine implemented as part of the 4th semester for Software Development.
The bot follows the basic tournament rules with a few modifications:
- Infinite board sizes
- Boards with holes
- "Pieces that are placed on the board are represented as sets of characters and point values. The wildcard piece can then be seen as the set of all characters worth zero points, whereas a letter piece is a singleton set with that letter and its point value."
- Tiles are functions that operate on the words placed above them
Client and server published to NuGet-repository. Dependencies are handled automaticly by NuGet-package manager.
- ScrabbleBot: Contains the bot source code
- ScrabbleTemplate: Executable - load bot and play against other bots.
- ScrabbleServer: Allows you to hook up an arbitrary amount of clients to play against each other, or several instances of the same client to play against itself.
- ScrabbleUtil: a utility library that contains the minimum required datatypes, a few boards to play on, and primitives for server communication, and a means to set up a common dictionary among several bots
