Map file

The map file (data/sample.csv in the above example) is a 3-column csv file with values Tile,Dice,Resource where:

  • Tile is a single capital letter A-S denoting the hexagon tile corresponding to the above board sketch. Warning These are purely internal IDs and do not correspond to the letters on the physical Catan tokens.
  • Dice is a single integer 2-12 denoting the dice token placed on the hexagon (use 7 for the desert)
  • Resource is a single letter denoting the resource: w[ood],s[tone],g[rain],b[rick],p[asture]

Debugging

For convenience, setting PRINT_BOARD = true in the configuration file will print a color representation of the map state after each turn:
