Game Overview

Scotland Yard-Sim is a Java-based simulation of the classic board game "Scotland Yard." The game involves a strategic chase between the elusive Mister X and the detectives. The players take turns making moves, and the game continues until Mister X is captured or manages to escape.

Making your Bot!

• Go try to make your own bot. There are different tactical approaches that you can try. To do so, you have to edit the getMove() in MisterXMoveStrategy.java/DetectiveMoveStrategy.java in the src. (If you change any state of the gameBoard during the getMove() - the programm won't run - look at the Error printing in your console). Look at the Documentation for more information about the board and it's behavior.

Happy gaming!
