# SimUniversity

*C# implementation of the board game Settlers of Catan, with a University/Campus theme.*

Idea from the project in [UNSW CSE](https://www.engineering.unsw.edu.au/computer-science-engineering/) COMP1711 computing course in 2002, lecturer [Richard Buckland](http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~richardb/).

### Console UI

![Console UI](https://github.com/MingStar/SimUniversity/raw/master/images/ConsoleUI.png)

### Running the code on Linux/OS X

* Install [Mono](http://www.mono-project.com/)

Build:

```

$ xbuild SimUniversity.ConsoleUI/SimUniversity.ConsoleUI.csproj

```

Start the Console UI

```

$ mono SimUniversity.ConsoleUI/bin/Release/MingStar.SimUniversity.ConsoleUI.exe

```

Then press Enter to play a game.

### Difference from the original Settlers of Catan game:

* No player trading (yet)

* No robber

* No development cards, instead players can found startup companies with a 20% success rate

* No limitations on the number of campuses (settlements) and super campuses (cities)

### Difference from the original COMP1711 SimUniversity game

* Resource are Wood, Brick, Ore, Grain and Sheep (as student degrees are too hard to remember)

* Acquire students from the 2nd campus in the setup phase (same as Catan)

* When a startup company failed, no card stealing from other players (yet)

### New Features Coming

* .NET Game Engine

	* support multiple games

	* support multiple clients

	* with a WCF/web service interface (to support game clients written in other languages)

	* simple user management

* Game Engine admin/viewer (Front end)

* .NET Game Client (Console/Web UI)

	* join a game

	* play a multi-player game

	* Display the game

### TODO:

* Added round results after the AI tournament in learning

* Write tests for the game play

* Have another AI to search all possible moves within the turn (particular useful in late game)

* Enable deep copy of game state (so AI won't be possible to break the actual game)

* Persist game state

### Tidy up:

* Remove game state hashing
