# Bomberman Game with IPC

## Overview

This project presents a C-based text Bomberman game leveraging inter-process communication (IPC). Players navigate a maze, plant bombs, and aim to be the last one standing. The game employs bidirectional pipes for communication and involves complex game logic for bomber and bomb behaviors.

## Features

- Text-based maze environment.

- Multiple players with unique initiatives.

- Bomb planting with explosion mechanics affecting bombers and obstacles.

- Bidirectional pipe communication using `socketpair()`.

- Select/Poll system calls for non-blocking I/O.

## Prerequisites

- C compiler (e.g., GCC)

- Linux-based OS for system calls compatibility

## Compilation and Execution

1. Clone the repository.

2. Navigate to the project directory.

3. Compile the game using the provided `Makefile`.

4. Run the game with `./bgame`.

## Game Mechanics

### Bombers

- **Initiative**: Order of message sending.

- **Movement**: One step at a time in the maze.

- **Obstacle Vision**: Limited visibility with obstacle considerations.

- **Bomb Planting**: At current location, fails if a bomb is already present.

- **Death**: Occurs on explosion impact.

### Bombs

- **Explosion Mechanics**: Timed explosions with a cross pattern.

- **Obstacle Interaction**: Obstacles block and can be destroyed by explosions.

- **Player Elimination**: Bombs can eliminate bombers, including self-elimination.

### Controller Logic

- **Socket Monitoring**: Using `select()` or `poll()` for bomb and bomber sockets.

- **Game Progression**: Manages game state, including ending conditions.

## Code Structure

- `bgame.c`: Main game file containing logic, bomber and bomb management, and IPC mechanisms.

- `bomb`: Executable for managing bomb explosions.

- Additional utility and header files for supporting functionalities.
