A way to check for loop without adjacencies - Johnlanders - 05-07-2020
Hello
I'm working on a game now but I can't figure out how to make it work. I need away to check is a piece of one player is in zone delimited by the opponent piece but they don't have to be adjacent to each other. I tried with the isLoop function but I can't make it work, seems like the adjacencies criterion is mandatory.
Thanks by advance.

I'm not 100% sure exactly what you're looking for. Is it one of the following, or something else?
1. A ludeme that tells you, for a given player, whether there exists some piece owned by that player that is encircled by opposing pieces like you described?
2. A ludeme that tells for, for a specific piece of a player (so in one specific site), whether that particular piece is encircled by opposing pieces in the way you described?

In fact in the game I'm working on you put your piece on the board, when an area is formed by your piece, and if your opponent as a piece in this area you can capture it. The area is defined by piece following the line of the board. For example if it the area is a square your piece are on the vertexes of this square, and if your opponent as a piece in this square you can capture it.
