Snakes-and-ladders

DSA PROJECT This C program implements a simple Snake and Ladder game. Below is an explanation of its key components:

1. Node Structure:

   • The struct Node is used to define a node for a linked list. Each node represents a position on the game board and stores information about whether it is a snake or a ladder and the corresponding weight.

2. Player Structure:

   • The struct Player defines a structure to store player information, including the player's name, current position on the board, score, and the number of rolls.

3. rollDie Function:

   • Generates a random number between 1 and 6, simulating the roll of a six-sided die.

4. printBoard Function:

   • Displays the game board, showing the positions of players and empty spaces.

5. movePlayer Function:

   • Moves the player on the board based on the dice roll.
   • Handles encounters with snakes and ladders, adjusting the player's position and score accordingly.

6. declareWinner Function:

   • Prints a congratulatory message when a player reaches the final position (position 100) and wins the game.

7. freeLinkedList Function:

   • Frees the memory allocated for the linked list that represents snakes and ladders on the board.

8. createSnakesAndLadders Function:

   • Creates a linked list representing the snakes and ladders on the board based on the specified difficulty level. The linked list is then returned.

9. main Function:

   • Initializes random seed for the rand function.
   • Prompts the user to input the number of players and their names.
   • Asks the user to choose the difficulty level (Easy, Medium, Hard) for the game.
   • Creates a linked list representing snakes and ladders based on the chosen difficulty.
   • Runs the main game loop, allowing each player to take turns rolling the die and moving on the board.
   • Checks if a player has reached the final position (100) and declares the winner.
   • Frees the allocated memory for the linked list and player structures.

This program is suitable for a simple text-based Snake and Ladder game and can serve as a starting point for more complex implementations or graphical adaptations. If you plan to use this code in a Git repository, make sure to include proper documentation and a license. Additionally, you might want to organize the code into multiple files for better maintainability.
