Dots and Boxes

Learn Dots and Boxes rules.

Make a Game Session

• Navigate Git Bash terminal into your Git-Started folder.

• Write commands:

  $ git checkout -b Game-Session
  $ mkdir "Playground/Multiplayer/DotsAndBoxes/YourName vs OpponentsName"
  $ cp -i "Games/Multiplayer/DotsAndBoxes.md" "Playground/Multiplayer/DotsAndBoxes/YourName vs OpponentsName/Game Number.md"
  $ git add .
  $ git commit -a -m "Game start"
  $ git push -u origin Game-Session

Play the game

• Navigate through the Playground folder and find your Game Number.md file.

• Open the file by right-clicking and choosing to open with a text editor. I highly recommend Notepad++ for this purpose.

• First players FIRST turn:

  $ git checkout Game-Session
  # Draws a doted line and saves the file
  $ git add .
  $ git commit -a -m "Doted Turn Number"
  $ git push -u origin Game-Session

• Second players FIRST turn:

  $ git checkout -b Game-Session
  $ git pull origin Game-Session
  # Draws a line and saves the file
  $ git add .
  $ git commit -a -m "Lined Turn Number"
  $ git push -u origin Game-session

• Other turns:

  $ git checkout Game-Session
  $ git pull origin Game-Session
  # Takes a turn and saves the file
  $ git add .
  $ git commit -a -m "Doted/Lined Turn Number"
  $ git push -u origin Game-Session

FULL EXAMPLE:

• Joseph (doted) and Mathew (line) are playing against each other their first game.

  $ git checkout -b Game-Session
  $ mkdir "Playground/Multiplayer/DotsAndBoxes/Joseph vs Mathew"
  $ cp -i "Games/Multiplayer/DotsAndBoxes.md" "Playground/Multiplayer/DotsAndBoxes/Joseph vs Mathew/Game 1.md"
  $ git add .
  $ git commit -a -m "Game start"
  $ git push -u origin Game-Session

• Josephs FIRST turn:

  $ git checkout Game-Session
  # Josephs opens the "Game 1.md" with a text editor.
  # "Draws" a doted line and saves
  $ git add .
  $ git commit -a -m "Doted Turn 1"
  $ git push -u origin Game-session

• Mathews FIRST turn:

  $ git checkout -b Game-Session
  $ git pull origin Game-Session
  # Opens the "Game 1.md" file in a text editor.
  # "Draws" a line and saves
  $ git add .
  $ git commit -a -m "Lined Turn 1"
  $ git push -u origin Game-session

• Josephs SECOND turn:

  $ git checkout Game-Session
  $ git pull origin Game-Session
  # Opens the "Game 1.md" file in a text editor.
  # "Draws" a doted line and saves
  $ git add .
  $ git commit -a -m "Doted Turn 2"
  $ git push -u origin Game-session

• Mathews SECOND turn:

  $ git checkout Game-Session
  $ git pull origin Game-Session
  # Opens the "Game 1.md" file in a text editor.
  # "Draws" a line and saves
  $ git add .
  $ git commit -a -m "Lined Turn 2"
  $ git push -u origin Game-session

• And so on.
