Turkish Type of Chinese Checkers Game UI

Game Features

• 2-Player turn-based gameplay
• Interactive graphical interface
• Custom movement rules and validation
• Victory condition tracking
• Real-time move highlighting

Technical Highlights

• Object-oriented architecture
• Custom board state management
• Event-driven user interactions
• Efficient move calculation algorithms
• Responsive canvas rendering

Implementation Details

Built using Python’s Tkinter library, this implementation features a robust game engine that handles complex move validation, piece jumping mechanics, and victory conditions. The game board is rendered using a canvas-based approach with dynamic highlighting for selected pieces and valid moves.

Key Code Snippet

def get_valid_moves(self, pos: Tuple[int, int]) -> List[Tuple[int, int]]:
    if pos not in self.board or self.board[pos] is None:
        return []

    valid_moves = []
    player = self.board[pos]
    directions = self.get_allowed_directions(pos, player)

    # Check for valid moves and jumps
    if not self.jump_in_progress:
        for dx, dy in directions:
            new_pos = (pos[0] + dx, pos[1] + dy)
            if self.is_valid_position(new_pos) and 
               self.board[new_pos] is None:
                valid_moves.append(new_pos)

Project Impact
