Idea

When me and my brother were little, we used to come up with ideas for different games with what we had available to us. One of those was a game where the goal was to hit and knock off all bottle caps of the opponent from the board. Those bottle caps were all Coca-Cola, Fanta, Sprite caps which all had their own colors. We used to play it on a chessboard.

Rules

• Each side gets 6 pieces that are spread randomly into 6 of possible 12 positions
• A player tries to hit the opponent's cap by launching their own cap towards the opponent, and the goal is to knock caps off the playing field.
• You can only launch your own cap
• Game ends when only one player's caps remain on the board
• Caps have life points and both hitting and getting hit takes life points

Running and Building

On Windows:

There's already Windows and Linux executable files provided in the bin folder. Alternatively you can build and run from the source.

# from the root of the project
go run .

# from the root of the project
go build -o bin\ -ldflags "-H=windowsgui -s -w" -tags release . # on windows
go build -o bin/ -ldflags "-s -w" -tags sdl . # on linux
# an executable file should be generated in the bin directory
