Game Rules

Patchwork is a two-player strategy board game where each player builds a quilt on their own 9x9 board. Players take turns choosing fabric patches from the available market. Each patch costs buttons, which are used as the game's currency, and also takes a certain amount of time to place.

After choosing a patch, the player places it on their quilt board. Patches may be rotated or flipped, but they cannot overlap or go outside the board. The goal is to cover as much of the board as possible while collecting buttons and making smart choices with each turn.

The game ends when both players reach the end of the time track. Players count their remaining buttons as points, then lose points for empty spaces left on their quilt board. The player with the highest final score wins.

Installation Instructions

This project is a digital version of Patchwork built with Java and JavaFX in IntelliJ IDEA. To run the game, open the project folder in IntelliJ, make sure the Java Development Kit is installed, and confirm that JavaFX is added to the project libraries.

After the project is opened, run the main Java application file from IntelliJ. The JavaFX window should launch and display the game interface. If the game does not start, check that the correct JDK is selected and that the JavaFX VM options are configured properly.

Technical Requirements

The game requires a computer capable of running Java and JavaFX applications. It should be opened using IntelliJ IDEA or another Java-compatible development environment.

About 200MB of storage is needed for the project files, images, Java source code, and JavaFX resources. Additional space may be required depending on the installed JDK, IDE, and JavaFX SDK.
