This module provides a base class for representing board games.

new

This method constructs a new game board and returns it. As constructed it has no spaces or pieces on it.

space($id)

This method returns the space with the given $id. If no space with that id exists, undef is returned.

add_space(%args)

This method adds a space to the board. It is passed a hash of attributes to use in creating a Games::Board::Space object. The object is created by calling the constructor on the class whose name is returned by the spaceclass method. This class must inherit from Games::Board::Space.

piececlass

This method returns the class used for pieces on this board.

spaceclass

This method returns the class used for spaces on this board.

add_piece(%args)

This method adds a piece to the board. It is passed a hash of attributes to use in creating a Games::Board::Piece object. The object is created by calling the constructor on the class whose name is returned by the piececlass method. This class must inherit from Games::Board::Piece.

Lots. First up: write a TODO list.

• Games::Board::Piece
• Games::Board::Space
• Games::Board::Grid
