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)
)
piecepack_rect_board_tiles(
  nrows = 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).

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"))
)
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.
