For my Software Design and Development Preliminary Major Project, I (the same as the other class members) had to make a snakes and ladders game. The game had to be
A complete game where between 2-3 players can be selected from the start-up form, each player moves in turn until a winner is selected. Player names can be edited on the main form. Snakes and Ladders are detected and move players up or down as per the rules of the game.
My Snakes and Ladders game:
- Allows up to Six players to play
- Allows personalisation, with manes able to be entered.
- Features animation of the piece as it moves to each square (optional).
- Includes delay between rolling the die and moving (optional).
- Saves the game and loads the saved game.
The game consists of three forms.
-
The game set-up form
-
The gameplay form
-
The settings/options form
The game saves to an XML file. Here is an example XML file it creates:
<?xml version="1.0"?><snakesandladders numofplayers="1" currentplayer="0">
<player playernum="1" position="4">User</player>
</snakesandladders>
I have created a ZIP file for installing the game onto the computer. If you already have a recent version of the .NET framework (version 2), you can download and run the exe file.
The executables are free to use, modify, etc, but NOT TO SELL. I like to hear where it is being used, so please contact me if you install it some special (e.g. school library, etc.).
Executable file (requires .NET framework to already be installed)
The documentation for my game is also available. This includes development diagrams and the source code for the application.
The source code is in the public domain, and so you can use it, although I would like to be referenced in the comments that this is actually my work (since I am still the one who created it).
May the dice roll well for you.
