RobotTurtlesReborn

This school project aims at virtualising the board game Robot Turtles, which aims at teaching the basis of programming to childrens. The objective is to reach a jewel before the other players. To move his turtle on the board, a player must put cards representing one action (move forward, turn on the left/right, shoot a laser) in a program and execute it. However, a player can't look at what is in his program so he must remember of his actions.

The rules used are the "Galapagos" rules. At the beginning of each turn, a player has 5 cards in his hand. Each turn, a player can choose between 3 actions : - putting some cards in his program (he can do it as much as he want as long as he still has cards obviously) - executing his program - putting a wall somewhere on the board (he can do it as long as he still has at least one wall of the type he wants to build) If a player just wants to pass, it is possible. At the end of his turn, a player can discard as much cards as he want. Then he draw enough cards from his deck to have a full hand (5 cards) again.

Walls : At the beginning of the game, a player has 3 stone walls and 2 ice walls. Ice walls are breakable (players can destroy them with lasers) whereas stone walls aren't. A player must never be completely held up from reaching a jewel. Consequently there must always remain a path between each player and a jewel. If players can be moved back to their starting point, there must remain a path between each player's original position and a jewel. If a player tries to completely block a player - or a starting point if need be - then he is forbidden to do so and must choose another action to do or pass.
