Chutes & Ladders Game
Hilda Medina
How to Win
The first player to reach the Blue Ribbon square #100 wins the game. You can get ther in 2 ways:
- Land there by exact count. If the die would take you past square #100, don't move. Try again on your next turn.
- Climb there by ending your move on ladder square # 80.
Description of the GUI
The GUI shows a board, 1 die, 4 tokens (1 for each player) of different colors.
To Play the Game
The color of the die shows which player has the current turn.
The player which has the turn to move should move the mouse on his/her token and drag it to the new location which is the sum of the current location plus the amount shown on the die. The moves begin on location 1 to the right to location 10, then up to location 11 and to the left to location 20, and continue like this.
Going Up a Ladder or Down a Chute
Ladders
Any time your new location is where a picture square at the bottom of aladder, the player must climb up to the picture square at the top of the ladder. For example, if you end your move on square # 9, you can move up to square # 31. Notice that the pictures on these two squares are related. The little boy who mows the lawn is rewarded for his job with a trip to the circus. Climb up with a good deed!
Chutes
Any time your new location is where a picture square at the top of a chute you must slide down the chute to the picture square at the bottom of the chute. For example if you end your move on square # 49, you must immediately move down to square #11. Again, the pictures are related. Eating too many candies can give you a tummyache! Naughty deed slide you back!
All Other Locations
If your move ends on any fo the following spaces your turn is over:
- A square with no picture.
- A square with no picture and just an arrow.
- A square that a ladder or chute just passes through.
- A picture square at the top of a ladder.
- A picture square at the bottom of a chute.
