Idea

When me and my brother were little, we used to come up with ideas for different games with what we had available to us. One of those was a game where the goal was to hit and knock off all caps of the opponent. Those caps were all Coca-Cola, Fanta, Sprite caps which all had their own colors. This game was played on a chessboard.

Rules

• The playing field is the same as the chessboard (for now) and split into two sections, one for each player
• Each side gets 9 pieces and they can spread them as they want on their side
• A player tries to hit the opponent's cap by flicking their own cap, and the goal is to knock it off the playing field.
• You can only hit your own cap
• Game ends when only one player's caps remain on the board

Running and Building

On Windows:

# from the root of the project
go run .

# from the root of the project
go build -o bin\ -ldflags "-H=windowsgui" .
# an exe should be generated in the bin directory
