Also includes notes for each step.ELET	2300	 Assignment	4	 Submit	your	program	through	Blackboard	–	No	late	submissions!	 Make	sure	that	you	upload	the	right	file	(usually:	main.cpp)	!!!	 	 In	this	assignment,	you	will	implement	a	simplified	game	of	Dara	in	C++	for	two	(human)	players.			 1.	First	be	sure	to	understand	how	the	game	works.	A	summary	of	the	game	rules	can	be	found	at	 the	end	of	this	document.	You	can	also	find	extra	information	at	Wikipedia:	 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dara_(game)	and	YouTube	(https://youtu.be/4pEY9MUYibU).	 2.	The	original	game	starts	with	the	players	taking	turns	to	place	12	pieces	each	on	a	5x6	square	 board	(i.e.,	the	"drop"	phase).		To	simplify	the	verification	of	your	program,		the	program	will	 read	the	initial	board	setup	from	a	file	instead	of	asking	the	players	to	enter	the	locations	of	the	 initial	pieces.	An	example	of	the	file	contents	is:	 .XOXOX  .XOOXX  O.XOOX  O.XO.O  XOX.XO  where	"X",	"O"	represent	the	tokens	of	player	1	and	2	respectively.	The	dot	(.)	represents	an	 empty	cell.	 In	your	program	the	board	will	be	represented	as	a	char	array.		Do	not	use	strings.	Implement	the	 file	reading	and	board	initialization	in	a	C++	function	named	"readBoard".	 3.	Your	program	must	verify	whether	this	initial	configuration	is	a	valid	one,	i.e.,	make	sure	that	 each	player	has	exactly	12	pieces	on	the	board	without	any	3-piece	or	more	horizontal/vertical	 row	(see	the	game	rules).		 4.	Implement	the	function	"displayBoard",	which	as	the	name	implies,	will	show	the	current	state	 of	the	game	on	the	screen.		 5.	Write	a	C++	loop	in	main(	)	to	implement	the	"move	phase"	of	the	game.	The	loop	will:	 A. Ask	player	1	for	the	location	of	the	piece	that	she	wants	to	move	and	the	movement	 direction	('u','	d',	'r',	'l'	for	up,	down	right,	left).		If	the	piece	at	the	requested	location	 belongs	to	the	player	AND	the	target	cell	is	free,	then	execute	the	move.	Otherwise,	print	 an	error	and	ask	the	user	to	enter	a	different	location/move	direction.		 B. In	the	original	game,	a	valid	move	cannot	form	a	column/row	of	4	equal	pieces	or	more	 and	cannot	put	the	latest	piece	back	to	its	previous	location.	These	two	rules	are	optional	 for	this	assignment,	but	you	can	implement	them	extra	credit.	 C. After	a	valid	move,	check	whether	a	3-same	piece	horizonal	or	vertical	row	was	formed.	 If	so,	ask	the	user	for	the	location,	i.e.,	the	row	number,	column	number,		of	the	piece	she	 wants	to	capture.		Verify	that	the	location	contains	an	opponent's	piece	and	that	is	not	 empty.	If	so,	remove	that	piece	(make	that	cell	empty).		If	not,	ask	again	the	user	for	a	 valid	location.	 D. After	each	capture,	check	whether	the	game	has	ended	(i.e.,	opponent	has	no	more	 pieces	on	the	board).		If	so,	print	a	message	announcing	so.	 E. Once	the	game	has	ended,	ask	whether	they	want	to	play	again.	If	so,	restart	the	game	by	 re-reading	the	initial	board	from	the	file	(step	2	above).	If	not,	terminate	the	program.	 Design	the	main	loop	in	modular	form	using	additional	C++	functions.	For	example,	you	can	 implement	a	"gameover"	function	that	checks	whether	all	opponent's	pieces	has	been	captured	 and	then	make	call	to	that	function	from	main(	).	 Notes:	 • You	must	use	only	the	C++	instructions	that	we	have	covered	so	far	in	class.	 • The	program	that	you	turn	in	must	be	your	original	and	individual	work.	While	you	are	allowed	to	 discuss	the	program	assignments	in	general	terms	with	others,	you	are	not	allowed	to	share	details	of	 the	actual	solution(s)	or	program	code	with	anybody	except	the	instructor.	 • Turning	in	a	copy	of	someone	else's	program,	even	a	copy	with	extensive	changes	made	to	it,	or	 receiving	any	unauthorized	assistance	is	a	very	serious	offense	in	this	course.	 • An	automated	plagiarism	checker	may	scan	programs	at	any	time	during	the	semester.	 • Only	submit	your	source	code	(.cpp).	This	must	be	done	on	or	before	the	due	date	through	Blackboard.	 No	late	submissions.	Blackboard	will	automatically	close	the	submission	page	right	after	the	deadline.	 • Your	program	must	include	comments	explaining	your	steps	and	must	be	properly	formatted	(see	 Program_Style_Guidelines.pdf	in	Blackboard).	 	 /∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗		 ∗	ELET	2300	 	 ∗	Programming	Assignment		  ∗					 *	Compiler	type	(if	other	then	Visual	C++)	 ∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗/	 	 	 	 	 	 	 *Courtesy	of	the	Mind	Research	Institute
