BarleyBreak is a classic English country game mentioned in literature and played during the 17th and 18th centuries. This repository provides an implementation of the BarleyBreak game using Qt6 Quick.
BarleyBreak is played by three pairs, each consisting of a man and a woman, who are stationed in three bases or plots that are contiguous to each other. The objective of the game is for the couple occupying the middle base, known as "hell" or "prison," to catch the other two couples. When chased, the couples being pursued can break away to avoid being caught. If one couple is overtaken, both members of that couple are condemned to "hell." The game's name is derived from this gameplay mechanic.
