public class LudoBoardCreatorController
extends BoardCreatorController

LudoBoardCreatorController.

Controller responsible for the logic behind creating and editing LudoGameBoards. It extends BoardCreatorController and manages interactions with a LudoBoardCreatorView.

This controller handles tasks such as initializing the Ludo board with a default size, updating the board size based on user input, and saving/importing Ludo board configurations. Unlike the ladder game board creator, it does not currently manage dynamic component placement, as Ludo boards have a more fixed structure.

handleImportBoard

protected void handleImportBoard(Map<String,Object> params)
