Mancala

The repository contains both a backend library and command-line frontend program for playing the game Mancala. The library can be reused to design a new frontend without having to write the backend logic. For more details, see the README.

Mancala is a strategy game in which pebbles are moved around a board. Full gameplay rules can be found in the man page. This is a command line version of that game for low performance computers or if you want to play while in a Terminal without starting X. The computer player prioritizes these moves, in this order:

• Captures
• Extra turns
• Preventing the opponent from capturing pebbles
• Preventing the opponent from taking extra turns
• Picking the pocket farthest from the goal

Mancala is written in C and should be compilable on any platform.
