The game allows two players to compete by connecting dots on a grid to form boxes. The player who completes the most boxes wins!\n\n## Features\n- **Interactive gameplay**: Players take turns to draw lines and complete boxes.\n- **Graphical interface**: Powered by **SFML**, providing a visually appealing experience.\n- **Scoring system**: Tracks scores in real-time to determine the winner.\n\n## Repository Contents\n1. **`Executable File.zip`**\n    - Ready-to-run version of the game for quick access. Unzip the file and double-click `PF- Project.exe` to start the game.\n2. **`Game Code.cpp`**\n    - The primary source code file for the game logic and SFML integration.\n3. **`Full Project Zip File.zip`**\n    - Contains full Visual Studio project folder. Unzip the file and open `PF- Project.sln` to open Visual Studio. This skips the need to set up SFML by yourself on a project file.\n\n## Requirements\n- Needs Visual Studio 2022 or higher to open `PF- Project.sln`.\n- No additional software needed for executable files.\n\n## Controls\n- Players take turns drawing a line between two adjacent dots by left clicking with a mouse in the space between them.\n- When all four sides of a box are filled, the player earns a point and an additional turn.\n- The game ends when all possible lines are drawn.\n- The player with the most completed boxes wins.\n\n\nEnjoy the game and happy coding!\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fwaheedsarem%2Fdotandboxes","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fwaheedsarem%2Fdotandboxes","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fwaheedsarem%2Fdotandboxes/lists"}
