Add Dots and Boxes Game in Python #62
Description
Overview:
This issue proposes creating a command-line (CLI) implementation of the classic Dots and Boxes game in Python.
The game will feature a grid of dots where two players take turns connecting adjacent dots with lines (horizontal or vertical). Completing a box awards the player one point and an extra turn. The game continues until all boxes are completed, and the player with the higher score wins.
✨ Key Features
Grid Setup:
The game initializes with a configurable grid (e.g., 3×3 or 4×4).
Turn-Based Gameplay:
Two players alternately draw lines between adjacent dots.
Box Completion & Scoring:
When a player completes a box, it is marked with their initial, and they earn a point and another move.
Display Updates:
The grid refreshes after each move, showing drawn lines and completed boxes.
Game End:
The game concludes once all boxes are filled, and final scores are displayed with a winner announcement.
Replay Option:
Players can choose to replay after finishing a match.
Deliverable
A single, runnable Python script named dots_and_boxes.py, which:
Runs entirely in the terminal (no GUI dependencies).
Is cleanly structured and commented for readability.
Accurately handles turn order, scoring, and win conditions.
