Pico8 implementation of the boardgame "Shōbu" by Manolis Vranas and Jamie Sajdak.

OVERVIEW
In Shōbu, the play area is divided into four boards. The goal of the game is to push all of your opponent's pieces off of any one of the four boards.

The two boards on your side of the play area are known as your HOME BOARDS.

YOUR TURN
On your turn, you must make two moves: first, a PASSIVE move, and then an ACTIVE move.

PASSIVE MOVE
For your PASSIVE move, you may only select a piece from one of your HOME BOARDS.

ACTIVE MOVE
For your ACTIVE move, you must repeat your PASSIVE move with one of your pieces on an OPPOSITE-COLORED board.
