Backgammon

A complete C++ implementation of classic backgammon. I rewrote an older procedural course project into a cleaner object-oriented architecture with separated board logic, rendering, move validation, and player strategies.

Architecture

The player system is built around an abstract Player class. Concrete implementations include a human-controlled player, a random player, and a simple AI player that prioritizes hits and piece safety.

• Real_player: validates user input and handles manual moves.
• Rand_player: selects a legal move randomly.
• AI_player: applies a small strategy layer over legal move generation.

Rules Covered

• Standard checker movement based on dice rolls.
• Hitting opponent pieces and moving them to the bar.
• Mandatory re-entry from the bar before other moves.
• Doubles as four moves instead of two.
• Bearing off and full move legality validation.
