DSA PROJECT This C program implements a simple Snake and Ladder game. Below is an explanation of its key components:
-
Node Structure:
- The
struct Node
is used to define a node for a linked list. Each node represents a position on the game board and stores information about whether it is a snake or a ladder and the corresponding weight.
- The
-
Player Structure:
- The
struct Player
defines a structure to store player information, including the player's name, current position on the board, score, and the number of rolls.
- The
-
rollDie
Function:- Generates a random number between 1 and 6, simulating the roll of a six-sided die.
-
printBoard
Function:- Displays the game board, showing the positions of players and empty spaces.
-
movePlayer
Function:- Moves the player on the board based on the dice roll.
- Handles encounters with snakes and ladders, adjusting the player's position and score accordingly.
-
declareWinner
Function:- Prints a congratulatory message when a player reaches the final position (position 100) and wins the game.
-
freeLinkedList
Function:- Frees the memory allocated for the linked list that represents snakes and ladders on the board.
-
createSnakesAndLadders
Function:- Creates a linked list representing the snakes and ladders on the board based on the specified difficulty level. The linked list is then returned.
-
main
Function:- Initializes random seed for the
rand
function. - Prompts the user to input the number of players and their names.
- Asks the user to choose the difficulty level (Easy, Medium, Hard) for the game.
- Creates a linked list representing snakes and ladders based on the chosen difficulty.
- Runs the main game loop, allowing each player to take turns rolling the die and moving on the board.
- Checks if a player has reached the final position (100) and declares the winner.
- Frees the allocated memory for the linked list and player structures.
- Initializes random seed for the
This program is suitable for a simple text-based Snake and Ladder game and can serve as a starting point for more complex implementations or graphical adaptations. If you plan to use this code in a Git repository, make sure to include proper documentation and a license. Additionally, you might want to organize the code into multiple files for better maintainability.
