Yes, the approach I suggest is similiar to this. However, keep in mind that you don't necessarily need to incorporate a full-fledged abstraction model and/or library.

Do I have to adopt some kind of OOP ?

Not necessarily. An entity functional mixin-based model would be more than enough.

When I started coding back in the early nineties, changes to be work in teams were rather scarce, due to difficulties in both the communication (you had to rely upon telephone e snail-mail to share stuff) and popularity of coding among teens (I was the only one seriously interested on the subject am...

For any pair of point defining a segment you can 1) deduce the line formula, 2) solve the simple linear system (which is, in fact, a closed-formula) to find the intersection point, then 3) test if the intersection point is between the point enclosing the segment. You should iterate these steps for e...

You can simply use "atan2()" to find the angle for the movement, the proceed in that direction...

I also thought about flood-filling the grid... but, quite frankly, I still don't get the game mechanics.

I'm trying to use the pathfinding libraries to see if a player has won Which is the criteria to determine if a player has won? Despite being a possible approach, I don't think that pathfinding is the most convenient tool to use for this problems. You should simply scan the board and check if some p...

To be honest, implementing a simple (unoptimized) Dijkstra's pathfinding algorithm is quite simple.

The most difficult thing is handling the representation of the map in a graph-oriented way.

How is your game "world" represented? Could you be more specific and give some details about?

I'm not using any 3rd party library, but in my pathfinding module this is a simple matter of considering diagonal steps a valid "neighbour" move.

Are you using any specific library?

If you want to use github, you need to learn Git. I strongly recommend it because versioning your code is very useful, but you should realize that git and github are a VCS and a platform for it and very different from a storage service like Dropbox. Totally agree. I've been using SCMs and VCS since...
