Idea by Werner Schönfeldinger and reimplemented by Michael Hahsler
The objective of gridhunt is to implement a hunter (i.e., a subclass of Hunter) who can catch the monster faster than all other hunters. Gridhunt uses a 30x30 grid of squares. A monster moves on this grid (see class Monster for how exactly the monster moves). Gridhunt is turn based. Each turn each hunter gets between 1 and 5 points which she/he can use for actions (e.g., move to an adjacent square, find out where the monster is; teleport to a random location on the grid). A hunter catches the monster if she/he moves on the same square the monster currently occupies. If the monster survives 100 rounds it wins.
Download the code from the Gridhunt2 web site. Make sure you check out the copyright notice below. Start with a copy of HunterRandom, give it a new class name. Then edit gridhunt_start.cc to include your new hunter in the hunting party. Modify the new hunter's makeMove() function to make her/him smarter.
Add your class to the Makefile (line 29) and type make in your teminal. Run the game with ./gridhunt. Alternatively you can import the project into NetBeans and run it from there.
Good luck!
