An aleatory syntaxes package. Third generation.

Project description

Aleatoryous 3

This is the 3rth Generation of aleatory objects, built by Diego Ramirez.

Introduction

The Aleatoryous package allows you to build:

  • Aleatory Syntax objects
    • Dice: aleatory.dice
    • Coin: aleatory.coin
    • Roulette: aleatory.roulette

By using the Python library random, Aleatoryous object can build many solutions for problems where aleatory numbers or specific output are needed.

To enjoy the Aleatoryous materials, you must download the package from the PyPi and install it with pip:

pip install aleat3-DiddiLeija_0.0.1.whl

The story of Aleatoryous

Well, you might ask: "If this package is a 3rth generation of Aleatoryous project, what about generations 1 and 2?".

The answer is that versions 1 and 2 can be called "beta versions" of final package. Even when this versions where never released, they are incomplete or not functional. So, don't worry: you are handling the best version of Aleatoryous.

What's new in aleat3 0.0.2

Now, you can change the Aleatoryous mode after you changed it, introducing the new mode:

obj = Aleatoryous("aleatory.coin")

obj.mode = "Dice"

But if you change it to a aleatory.roulette:

obj.mode = "Roulette"

obj.dict = {1: "Option 1", 2: "Option 2",}
# You must enter a dictionary with shorter key 1 and without repetitions

Building Aleatory Objects

To import the aleat3 library, type:

from aleat3 import *  # Call the whole aleat3 library

After aleat3 library is imported, type:

obj = Aleatoryous()   # Build an aleatory coin by default

All 3 objects are built at the same way in Python. No matter the mode, you can get aleatory output with methods:

# Return: strings or integers
obj.single()         # Only one iteration
# Return: lists
obj.first_5()        # First 5 results
obj.first_10()       # First 10
obj.first_50()       # First 50
obj.first_100()      # First 100
obj.first_given(3)   # Iterate all the given times

Now, we give you a description of the items:

aleatory.coin

The most simple mode of Aleatoryous. It can be called by 2 ways:

  • Just typing obj = Aleatoryous(). The default "mode" is aleatory.coin.
  • Being more specific, typing obj = Aleatoryous("aleatory.coin").

The aleatory.coin can return 2 different results:

  • String "Head"
  • String "Tails"
Using CoinToBinary function

If you want, you can convert the string from aleatory.coin output to int with the function aleat3.coinToBinary included in the " * " import.

Follow the example:

from aleat3 import *
obj = Aleatoryous("aleatory.coin")

result = obj.single()  # return only 1 value
print(coinToBinary(result))

aleatory.dice

The second mode of Aleatoryous returns a range between 1 and 6, just like traditional dices. If you want an aleatory.dice, type:

obj = Aleatoryous("aleatory.dice")

And, like traditional dices, you could use more than one to get a larger result:

dice1 = Aleatoryous("aleatory.dice")
dice2 = Aleatoryous("aleatory.dice")

res = dice1.single() + dice2.single() # returns a range between 2 and 12
print(res)

aleatory.roulette

The third and the most complex mode of Aleatoryous. This is the only mode that takes both parameters of Aleatoryous object:

Aleatoryous(mode, extras)

The mode parameter is taken by all the 3 modes. But the extras is only made for aleatory.roulette. There you put a list of possible results. The list can have any Python data structure, it will be iterated.

Follow the example:

# Put your options here
lst = ["Option 1",
       {"Sub Option 1": 2, "Sub Option 2": None},
       10.9,
       [3, 4, 1],
       None]

# Build the object
obj = Aleatoryous("aleatory.roulette", lst) # The 2nd parameter is taken
print(obj.single())

Debugging aleatory.roulette errors

Remember, you can only include lists in the "mode" parameter. For example, if you type:

obj = Aleatoryous("aleatory.roulette", {"Option 1": 1, "Option 2": 2}) # A dictionary

You'll receive a message like this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File .../-.py in <module>
    obj = Aleatoryous("aleatory.roulette", {"Option 1": 1, "Option 2": 2})
                                            ^
File .../aleat3/constructor.py in __init__
    raise ...
aleat3.constructor.InitError: __init__() Invalid Syntax (Unexpected parameter given: extras)

Making solutions with Aleatoryous - Some examples

Iterating with aleatory.roulette

The most used mode is aleatory.roulette, because you can control data to be iterated in aleatory selection.

For example, if you read a file and want to get a random line:

# The file register.txt will contain many-many-many names. We want 5 aleatory
# winners:

# John
# Richard
# Tamara
# Axel
# Gael
# Sarah

f = open("C://Users/Admin/Documents/register.txt", "r")
l = []

for i in f:
  l.append(i.rstrip())

# Operate the file data
from aleat3 import *

r = Aleatoryous("aleatory.roulette", l)
res = []

while len(res) < 5:
  possible = r.single()
  if possible in res:
    continue
  res.append(possible)

# Get the results
print(res)

And we'll get an output like:

["Richard", "Gael", "John", "Tamara", "Sarah"]

Binary aleatory numbers with aleatory.coin + coinToBinary

As we said before, the coinToBinary function converts an aleatory.coin output to binary numbers (1 or 0). We can use this function when you need an aleatory output between 1 and 0. View the Using coinToBinary function process shown above.

Building games with aleatory.dice

You could use the aleatory.dice natural properties for building complex games where a dice is required.

For example, you can use the tkinter module for building graphical interfaces, and then use the aleatory.dice to create a videogame where the user can use a functional and light-weight dice.
