Universal Shift-Tac-Toe
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
Description
A generalized implementation of Shift-Tac-Toe made in Python with both a windowed (PySimpleGUI 4) and command line version. Allows arbitrary rows, columns, pieces, shifting spaces. To play the actual Shift-Tac-Toe game from 1988 (https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/23318/shift-tac-toe), the board needs to be changed to have dimensions 3 x 3 with a shift of 2 and initial shift of 1. The GUI and cmd line versions have a save and load function. They can be used with each other, but it may cause an error. Currently, the GUI saves the color of the piece as the piece in the grid, which will cause issues if the value is not a color.
Game Mode
From the menu, the game mode can be turned on, which allows the user to select the number of players. When started, the program will automatically switch between the colors of pieces for that many players. This lets any number of people play a game on any size board. There is no win condition since, for arbitrary size boards, players may make different win conditions.
