Hia! This is a board game I built in... react.
...why?
Its for my portfolio, ok. 😢
I think the game is an improvement on the amazing labyrinth. It adds more complexity asymmetrical gameplay, namely the minotaur player trying to 'capture' you.
Its a neat toy for a minute. However, its not something I can see myself playing again and again. So I think I'll leave it here.
It was fun to build.
I enjoyed making the board, and writting code to traverse it.
Behind the scenes the board data is an 'Array' that represents the grid.
A 9x9 could look like:
[ 0,1,2,
3,4,5,
6,7,8,
9 ]
// each number is the .id of the tile.
// in practice there is more data in each cell.It can be accessed with a x, y position simply by multiplying y by the width.
board[x + y * w]Lately I've been finding tricks like this neat, ever since taking the Data Structures course by ThePrimeagen. I keep wondering what else can be represented as an array with a little math. At some point I want to try implementing a hexagon board.
