Project Topic: Katamino

Description of Katamino: Katamino has 12 different pieces. Every piece contains 5 squares, arranged in different ways. There are also filler pieces which are 1 or 2 squares. The classic katamino game is setup by dividing the board into two parts. After that both players are given five blocks and 4 filler blocks. The first player to fill their section with the given blocks is the winner of the game.[1]

Description and requirements of Katamino:

• In our project we will implement the geometrical mind game Katamino.
• The main objective of this project is to make this a desktop game using the fundamentals of object oriented programming.

General: It is a singleplayer 2D mind game, where the player tries to fill the board with the given blocks in different colours and geometrical shapes.

How to Compile Code:

1. Pull the project to your favourite IDE.
2. Specify the Project SDK to a Java SDK to any version above version Java 8.
3. Compile and have fun.
4. We suggest to play the game on a Windows OS and 1080p resolution.

Board Designs: Board designs will feature pixel art that will give an extra joy to the main target audience that are children and also adults. The users can add their own pixel art as an additional feature.
