version 1.013
use Games::Board; my $board = Games::Board->new; $board->add_space( id => 'go', dir => { next => 'mediterranean', prev => 'boardwalk' }, cost => undef ); my $tophat = Games::Board::Piece->new(id => 'tophat')->move(to => 'go');
This module provides a base class for representing the pieces in a board game.
This method constructs a new game piece and returns it.
This returns the piece's id.
This returns the board object to which the piece is related.
This returns the id of the space on which the piece currently rests, if any. It it's not on any space, it returns undef.
This returns the Space on which the piece currently rests, if any. It it's not on any space, it returns undef.
$piece->move(dir => 'up') $piece->move(to => $space)
This method moves the piece to a new space on the board. If the method call is in the first form, the piece is moved to the space in the given direction from the piece's current space. If the method call is in the second form, and $space is a Games::Board::Space object, the piece is moved to that space.
