Overview

Serializer implementations for converting core domain types to/from text format for persistence.

Serializers

• GameStateSerializer — Serializes complete game state to/from text

• BoardSerializer — Serializes board configuration (size and pieces)

• PlayerSerializer — Serializes player data (type and points)

• PieceSerializer — Serializes individual piece positions

• PieceTypeSerializer — Serializes piece type symbols (# for BLACK, @ for WHITE)

Responsibilities

• Converting immutable domain objects to text representation

• Parsing text files back to domain objects

• Ensuring round-trip serialization preserves data integrity

• Providing human-readable save file format

#,12;@,5;
#

8
4,4,@
4,5,#
