NAME
Game::Marad - a board game for two players
SYNOPSIS
use Game::Marad;
my $game = Game::Marad->new;
$game->move( 1, 1, 0, 0 ); # 1, "ok"
$game->turn; # 1
$game->player; # 1
...DESCRIPTION
This module is an implementation of Marad (originally devised for a cardboard sheet with coins on it, and then Common LISP). With Curses installed the bin/pmarad script will play the game in a terminal window. Otherwise a client should not be too difficult to implement, study the module and bin/pmarad to work out these details.
