About The Project

We created a game based on IQ focus which involved implementing the game logic and a GUI. My primary contributions was creating the game logic and a recursive algorithm to solve the game and provide hints.

Features

• Intuitive GUI with click and drag snapping
• Game logic that ensures the player is making legal moves and checks for a winning scenario
• Custom difficulty
• Hints that suggest a valid placement with a transparent overlay

Built With

• Java
• JavaFX
• IntelliJ IDEA

Usage

Prerequisites

• Install Java

Installation

Download and run the .jar latest version of the application in the Releases tab.

How to play

Based on the game IQ focus. Your challenge is to place all the pieces of the game onto the board in a such a way that the shaded area in the middle corresponds to the challenge grid at the bottom of the screen.
Controls:

• To Move: Click and drag
• To Rotate: Press R while hovering over a shape or scroll over a tile
• To Remove a Piece: Click over a tile on the board
• Hints: Hold /
