When designing a turn-based game system with an NxN board and support for any number of players, which architectural pattern best facilitates future extensibility and scalability?
AMonolithic design combining all game logic in a single class
BModular design separating board logic, player management, and turn control
CHardcoded turn sequences for a fixed number of players
DUsing global variables to manage game state across modules
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Identify extensibility needs
Separating concerns allows independent updates and easier scaling.
Step 2: Evaluate architectural patterns
Modular design (Modular design separating board logic, player management, and turn control) supports adding players, changing board size, and modifying rules without affecting unrelated components.
Final Answer:
Modular design separating board logic, player management, and turn control -> Option B
Quick Check:
Modularity enables scalable, maintainable systems [OK]
Quick Trick:Separate concerns for scalable game architecture [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
Using monolithic design limiting flexibility
Hardcoding player turns reduces scalability
Relying on global state complicates maintenance
