# Bagh Chal
Bagh-Chal (Nepali: बाघ चाल), also known as the Tiger Game or Tiger and Goat Game, is a traditional strategy game from Nepal. This will guide you through the game’s rules, setup, and objectives.
## Requirements
- Python > 3.9
- Pygame
## Objective
- **Tigers:** Capture the goats.
- **Goats:** Prevent the tigers from capturing all of them and trap the tigers so they cannot move.
## Board
The board is a 5x5 grid with additional diagonal lines connecting the corners, creating a star-like pattern. The intersections of these lines are the points where pieces can be placed.
## Pieces
- **Tigers:** 4 pieces
- **Goats:** 20 pieces
## Setup
1. **Tigers:** Start on the board in specific locations (typically at the four corners of the board).
2. **Goats:** Start off the board and are introduced into the game one at a time.
## Installation
You can install the game using pip:
```sh
pip install PlayBaghChal
```
## Usage
Run the game using:
```py
from playbaghchal.PlayGame import TigerGame
# Create an instance of the game and run it
game = TigerGame()
game.run()
```
OR, Using Command line
```sh
python -m playbaghchal
```
## Gameplay
### Tigers' Turn
- Tigers can move to any adjacent intersection along the lines (vertically, horizontally, or diagonally).
- Tigers capture goats by jumping over them to an empty spot directly on the other side (similar to a checkers capture).
### Goats' Turn
- Goats are placed on empty intersections, one at a time, until all 20 goats are on the board.
- After all goats are on the board, they can move to an adjacent intersection along the lines.
## Controls
- **Tigers and Goats movement**: Click on a piece and then on a valid position to move.
## Winning the Game
- **Tigers Win:** By capturing 6 goats so that it is impossible to block all tigers.
- **Goats Win:** By trapping all the tigers so they cannot make any legal moves.
## Strategy
- **For Tigers:** Focus on capturing goats efficiently and blocking their movement.
- **For Goats:** Aim to create a formation that limits the movement of tigers and avoid being captured.
## Additional Notes
- The game requires careful planning and strategic thinking from both players.
- The placement of goats can significantly influence the tigers' ability to capture or move.
