| dc.description.abstract | Nerenchi is one of Sri Lanka's oldest
folk board games in which the board has diagonal
lines joining the corners and horizontal and
vertical lines joining three concentric squares in
the centre. It is a strategic game between two
players. The game is played by ensuring that one
avoids his/her opponent in forming a mill. The
player should block the counters of that mill by
moving and taking one of his/her pieces every
time. The player who has lost all the counters and
is blocked from moving will be the loser. This folk
game makes much fun, but with time the use of
this game has rapidly decreased as a result of the
development of online games. Therefore, joining
hands with new technology, the implementation
of an automated version of the “Nerenchi Board
game” will be much impressive. The proposed
system has 3 main stages; Detecting objects,
Object movement and deciding the next turn of
the object to be moved. System design mainly
focuses on automating the system by using
sensors to detect the exact location and colour of
the Nerenchi object. The paper presents a way to
detect the existing state of the physical board on
the Nerenchi game, and this is a new approach for
designing a computerized version of the Sri
Lankan folk game called “Nerenchi”. | en_US |
