Stranded

Contents

This is the game of Stranded, a board (not bored) game that, many think, has the better qualities of chess and checkers. It is written in Java, and the original game was written in BASIC and can be found in a book titled "Games Commodores Play" by Philip W. Dennis and Greg Minter.

This is the first game I've ever written in Java, so please don't criticize its lack of optimisations, such as dirty rectangle management, but do inform me of any minor bugs that may have escaped my testing.


Play Stranded

This is a game for two players. Both of you will be placed in an 8 x 8 matrix. A player may move in any of the eight directions. Click on the target square to move.

After you move, you will click on a second square. This square will then be blacked out and will be unenterable.

The first player unable to move loses the game.
