Here is the code we're building in Intro. Scientific Computing, 2016 for playing Oware. There is a simple rule summary and a few example game openings at this site.

<source lang="python">

1. objective: create a game of Owari
2. ASCII Art: f e d c b a <-- (fed) # score[1]
3. A B C D E F --> (ABC) # score[0]
4. 0 1 2 3 4 5

1. create a new board

def new_board(): # () -> ([int], [int], [int])

       ABC = [4]*6
       fed = [4]*6
       score = [0, 0]
       return ABC, fed, score

1. move pieces (TODO)

def move(ABC, fed, start):

       # player 1, assume start is at position F
       ABC[5] = 0 #assign old position to zero
       fed[5] = fed[5] + 1 # distribute seeds
       fed[4] = fed[4] + 1 # distribute seeds
       fed[3] = fed[3] + 1 # distribute seeds
       fed[2] = fed[2] + 1 # distribute seeds
       # TODO: check for capture
       return 0, 0 # return score update

1. print_board : ([int], [int], [int]) -> ()

def print_board(ABC, fed, score):

       print "Current board:"
       print "f e d c b a"
       print fed, score[1]
       print ABC, score[0]
       print "A B C D E F"

ABC, fed, score = new_board() print_board(ABC, fed, score) </source>
