Exercise: Implement the game below, focusing on writing the best code you can produce. Use the Game class as a template, filling in the methods with appropriate logic based on the game rules below. The Gui relies on the listed Game methods to render the game, and will start to work as the Game is made to work properly, when the main.py script is run.
Note The Gui class does not implement any of the game rules below; it only draws the current state of the board based on information from the Game class.
- Two players give their names and start the game.
- On a player's turn, they roll two 6-sided dice. The player moves their piece the total number of spaces as the total of their dice roll. (e.g. rolling a 3 and 4 means moving 7 spaces.)
- Win: A player wins if they land exactly on space 63.
- Bounce: If a player rolls past space 63 (e.g. 64), they "bounce", and go back to where they began their turn.
- Bridge: If a player lands on space 9, then they go directly to space 16 in the same turn.
- Goose: If a player lands on space 4, 8, 13, 18, 23, or 27 (a green space), they get to roll again!
- Prank: If a player lands on a space occupied by another player, then they send the other player back to their previous position (e.g. if player 1 was on 20, then lands on player 2 at space 22, then player 2 is moved immediately to space 20.)
