Hi,

i'm currently working on a game as an assignment for school in java. the game cuurently is designed for Console.

the game is for 2 players, one attacking from north to south, and the other from west to east. the purpose of the game is to build a "bridge"/"path" between the 2 of your sides before your opponent does.

for example:

   A B C D E F
1  _ _ X _ _ _  1 
2  O X X _ _ _  2
3  O X O O O O  3
4  O X O _ _ _  4
5  X X _ _ _ _  5
6  X O _ _ _ _  6
   A B C D E F

player that attacks from north to south won (path/bridge from C to A) my problem is, what algorithm would be good to check if the user have managed to create a path (will be checked at the end of each turn).

you're help would be very appreciated.
