Happy New Year: Settlers of Catan in SQL
One of the best New Year presents I've ever got was a copy of the German-style board game, The Settlers of Catan.
This game has brought me and my friends many an hour of good entertainment.
The game is played on a hexagon field with 19 hexagon tiles (3 + 4 + 5 + 4 + 3), which have to be randomly put into appropriate places. In addition, 18 of those tiles have a score token on it, which has to be put there, also randomly, albeit with some limitations. Finally, 9 more pieces (harbors) have to be randomly put to their places, which are printed on the game field.
Today, we'll be implementing the Almanac Variable Catan setup using SQL.
