SnakeAndLadderGame

This is a console-based Snake and Ladder game implemented in Java. The game supports two players, with a visual representation of the board, including snakes, ladders, and player positions.

Features

• Snakes: Represented on the board with a starting point (S->) and an endpoint (<-S), which slide the player down.
• Ladders: Represented on the board with a starting point (L->) and an endpoint (<-L), which move the player up.
• Player Positions: Displayed as P1 and P2 on the board.
• Dice Roll: The game simulates a dice roll for each player's turn.
• Board Display: The 10x10 game board is displayed after each move, with indicators for snakes, ladders, and player positions.

Technical Details

Data Structures

• HashMap:
  • The game uses HashMap<Integer, Integer> to store the positions of snakes and ladders.
  • The key represents the starting point of the snake or ladder, and the value represents the endpoint.
  • This data structure allows for efficient O(1) lookup when a player lands on a position to check if there is a snake or ladder at that position.

Dice Simulation

• Random Class:
  • The game uses the Random class to simulate rolling a six-sided dice.
  • The rollDice() method returns a random integer between 1 and 6 using random.nextInt(6) + 1.
  • This randomness ensures that the dice rolls are unpredictable, simulating the real-life uncertainty of rolling a dice.

How to Play

1. Starting the Game: Both players start at position 0.
2. Rolling the Dice: Players take turns rolling the dice by pressing Enter.
3. Movement:
   • If a player lands on the bottom of a ladder, they move up to the top of the ladder.
   • If a player lands on the head of a snake, they slide down to the tail of the snake.
4. Winning the Game: The first player to reach position 100 wins the game.
