Day 15: Killing groups, part II

Something was missing in the last post. I should add the dead stones to a "dead stones counter", so I created 2 new private variables in board.


private int whiteDeadStones=0; private int blackDeadStones=0;

Everytime a group is killed, I have to add all those stones to one of the counters. Now the killing method of the board will be something like this:

public void tryToKill(int color){ Ruleset ruleset=new Ruleset(); ArrayList<integer> group=new ArrayList<>(); boolean isDead; for(int i=0;i<this.getMainBoard().size();i++){ if(this.getMove(i)==color){ group=ruleset.getGroup(i, this); isDead=ruleset.TryKillingGroups(group, this); if(isDead==true){ //if dead KILL! //first add dead stones to the "bowl" if(color==1){ //Add black stones to the bowl this.blackDeadStones=this.blackDeadStones+group.size(); }else{ // this.whiteDeadStones=this.whiteDeadStones+group.size(); } System.out.println("Killed"); for(int j=0;j<group.size();j++){ this.setMove(group.get(j), 0); } } } } }

I just have to create a method to return how many dead stones have a player, that's easy, something like "getDeadStones(int color)" and show it on the screen using the console class.

Next: 2 rules to add: ko and suicide.
