Setup various game boards using piecepack tiles

Description

df_rect_board_tiles returns a tibble data_frame of a rectangular board of desired size made using a maximum number of piecepack tiles. It will use either “cells”, “points”, and/or “rivers” as necessary.

Usage

piecepack_rect_board_tiles(
  nrows = 8,
  ncols = 8,
  x0 = 1,
  y0 = 1,
  max_tiles = 24,
  suit = rep(1:4, 6),
  rank = rep(1:6, each = 4)
)

Arguments

nrows	Number of rows in game board
ncols	Number of columns in game board
x0	X coordinate for the center of the first cell/point
y0	Y coordinate for the center of the first cell/point
max_tiles	Maximum number of tiles that can be used
suit	Vector of suit values to use for tile back (will be repeated).
rank	Vector of rank values to use for tile back (will be repeated).

Value

A tibble::tibble() data frame with the following columns:

• "piece_side"

• "suit"

• "rank"

• "cfg" (optional, defaults to "piecepack")

• "x"

• "y"

• "angle" (optional, defaults to 0).

This data frame is compatible with piecepackr::render_piece() and likely ppcli::cat_piece().

Setups by game name

Description

setup_by_name() returns setup data frames by game name and game system. checkers_by_name(), chess_by_name(), dominoes_by_name(), and piecepack_by_name() are aliases that set the game system.

Usage

setup_by_name(
  name,
  system = known_game_systems,
  ...,
  getter = function(x) get(x, envir = getNamespace("ppdf"))
)

checkers_by_name(
  name,
  ...,
  getter = function(x) get(x, envir = getNamespace("ppdf"))
)

chess_by_name(
  name,
  ...,
  getter = function(x) get(x, envir = getNamespace("ppdf"))
)

dominoes_by_name(
  name,
  ...,
  getter = function(x) get(x, envir = getNamespace("ppdf"))
)

piecepack_by_name(
  name,
  ...,
  getter = function(x) get(x, envir = getNamespace("ppdf"))
)

stackpack_by_name(
  name,
  ...,
  getter = function(x) get(x, envir = getNamespace("ppdf"))
)

Arguments

name	Game name. Will be normalized by normalize_name().
system	Game system.
...	Additional arguments to pass to the underlying setup function.
getter	Function with a single function name argument to use. By default will just look for packages in this package but a developer may want to consider dynGet() or a wrapper around get() with a custom envir argument.

Value

A tibble::tibble() data frame with the following columns:

• "piece_side"

• "suit"

• "rank"

• "cfg" (optional, defaults to "piecepack")

• "x"

• "y"

• "angle" (optional, defaults to 0).

This data frame is compatible with piecepackr::render_piece() and likely ppcli::cat_piece().

---

Description

checkers_none(), chess_none(), dominoes_none(), piecepack_none(), and stackpack_none() return zero-row data frames.

Usage

checkers_none()

chess_none()

dominoes_none()

piecepack_none()

stackpack_none()

Value

A data frame with zero rows.

Examples

checkers_none()
