Queen and Rook Game

1. Rules of the Game

Two players face each other on a square board with n rows and n columns, where n is an even integer. By default, n=8.

Pieces and Movements

• Queen: Moves orthogonally or diagonally to an empty square, provided all squares between the starting and ending positions are empty (like a chess queen, but without capturing opposing pieces).
• Rook: Moves orthogonally to an empty square, provided all squares between the starting and ending positions are empty (like a chess rook, but without capturing opposing pieces).

Initial Configuration

• Each player starts with:
  • 1 queen.
  • n² // 4 - 1 rooks.

Capture Rules

• After a rook moves, it can capture opposing rooks if it forms a rectangle with its queen.
• Captures only occur when:
  • The moved rook and the queen of the same player form two vertices of a rectangle.
  • Opposing rooks are located on one or both of the other vertices of this rectangle.
• Queens cannot capture, and they cannot be captured.

Victory Condition

• A player loses when they have two or fewer pieces left (queen and rooks combined).

2. Implementation in Python

The game is implemented in Python with the Tkinter graphics library. Object-oriented programming principles and encapsulation must be strictly followed.

Classes

• Player Class:

  • Attributes: Coordinates of the player's queen, number of remaining pieces.

• Game Class:

  • Attributes: A 2D list modeling the game board and other necessary attributes.

Features

1. Board Customization:
   • Choice of board size via a menu (n must be even and between 6 and 12).
2. Game Display:
   • Visualization of the grid and pieces.
   • Indication of the current player's turn.
3. Piece Selection:
   • Players select a piece to move using the mouse.
   • Selected pieces are visually highlighted (e.g., with a circle).
4. Movement and Captures:
   • Enforce movement and capture rules.
5. Turn Management:
   • Alternation of turns between players.
6. Victory Condition:
   • Detect and display the winner.
7. End of Game:
   • Show results and offer the option to start a new game.

Design Notes

• The application must decouple algorithmic logic (game rules and board management) from graphical logic (display and event handling).
