EISEI (衛星, Satellite)

Description

EISEI (衛星, Satellite) ================ **EISEI** is two players board game, where your goal is to destroy your opponent satellites before your satellites are destroyed. Board size can vary from 3x4 up to 11x14, and the bigger the board is, the more satellites you and your opponent have. Rules ===== Satellite can perform one of the following moves: * **MOVE** will allow your satellite to move to the direction where one of the satellite's arrows point (so if satellite is oriented as X, you can move it diagonally, and if satellite is oriented as +, you can move it vertically or horizontally). If you go over an opponent's satellite, your opponent's satellite will be removed from the board. After a move, your satellite will re-orient itself (so if your satellite was X, your satellite's new orientation is now + and vice versa) * **SWAP** is like move, but instead of moving to an empty space or on top of the opponent's satellite, you move on top of your own satellite. Your satellites will change the place with each other and re-orient if they have the same orientation (thus the board state is never the same it was before after a swap) * **RE-ORIENT** your satellite doesn't move but just re-orients (from X to + and vice versa) Extra rules ========= If both players agree, one or more of the following rules can be used: * **ONE TOUCH** when player touches a piece, player has to move that piece * **TIMER** players have a certain amount of time to make moves (example one minute) * **OVER THE EDGE** allows satellite to move over the edge to the other side of the board. So for example if your satellite is X and is located on bottom right, you can move satellite to top right direction, which will relocate your satellite to the left on second row. In order to not make the game too easy, this can happen only through left and right edges (not through bottom or through top) * **HAKKAPELIITTA** since Finns invented this game, there must be a mode for Hakkapeliittas ;) In this mode board size is reduced by two rows (11x12, 9x10, 7x8, 5x6, or 3x4). Toss the coin to determine who starts, and strike upon the opponent's satellites like Hakkapeliittas did in the 17th century :) Building up the board ================ Print *EISEI_board_piece.st*l and *EISEI_satellite.st*l as many times as needed for board. See *recommended board sizes* image to find out what to print. Setting up the satellites ================== See *Satellite orientation* image for more info. Rule of thumb is that satellites on the outmost columns are oriented as X, and inside the triangle orientation varies like X+X+X+X+X.
