Lab 5 Game Shell

This code provides functions that may prove useful in implementing the Lab 5 game

Basic Idea

The player is represented by an unsigned char containing a position on the board. Relies on an LCD library - included as LCD/LCD.h.

example.c gives you a program skeleton and pseudocode that may be helpful in achieving required functionality.

Code

• unsigned char initPlayer();
  • returns the address of the first position in the game
  • this can be called to place the player at the starting position
• void printPlayer(unsigned char player);
  • prints the player symbol to the passed in location
• void clearPlayer(unsigned char player);
  • clears the passed in location by printing a space
• unsigned char movePlayer(unsigned char player, unsigned char direction);
  • returns an updated position based on an input position and direction of movement
  • constants for UP, DOWN, LEFT, and RIGHT are included in the header
• char didPlayerWin(unsigned char player);
  • returns 1 if the player is at the winning position, 0 otherwise

Also provides prototypes of functions that may prove useful in achieving higher levels of functionality.
