The Distrix Simulation Game
A Free Download for Your PC
The Distrix Simulation Game is a simple PC app that simulates the advanced version of the Distrix board game. The game is "played" between you and the computer, but the only thing you decide is which side you play for. Unlike the Distrix board game, you decide which side you play for after seeing the arrangement of tiles in the matrix. After that, everything is out of your hands, and the app automatically selects the moves made by you and the computer for the entire game, assuming that the next move is randomly selected among the options available. (For example, if there are 30 options for the next move, the app plays one of them at random.) During the simulation, the board position after each move is shown. At the end, the app automatically computes the final district scores and the number of districts won by each player. It then announces the winner of the game.
The app uses the PC's black-and-white command prompt user interface, so there are no player, tile, or district colors. The two players in the app--Player P and Player N--are represented by positive and negative numbers respectively instead of the colors Red and Blue as in the board game. The districts in the app are represented by 9 letters--A, B, D, E, F, G, H, I, and J--instead of 9 different token colors as in the board game.
