Rooster Chase Game in MATLAB

This project implements the classic "Rooster Chase" game using an 8×8 chessboard grid in MATLAB. In this game, a farmer tries to capture a rooster by moving on the board according to a strategy based on distance calculations. The farmer uses a greedy algorithm to minimize the distance between them, pushing the rooster into a corner for capture.

Features:

• A grid-based representation of the game using a chessboard.
• Farmer movement based on Manhattan distance calculations.
• Rooster movement is randomly.
• Capture logic ensures the game ends within a maximum of 14 moves.
• Visualization of the game board and moves.

How it Works:

• The rooster starts by moving first.
• The farmer then moves to minimize the maximum distance (either in rows or columns) between them.
• The game continues until the farmer catches the rooster in a corner.

How to Run:

1. Clone the repository.
2. Open the Main.m file in MATLAB.
3. Run the script to see the game in action.

This project was completed in 2017 and uploaded to GitHub in 2024 for archival purposes.
