codenames 4.1.1

Codenames board game logic implementation in python.

Codenames

Code infrastructure for the Codenames board game.
Designed to serve as a base for implementing players (agents) with different strategies and algorithms.
See the codenames-solvers repository for such examples.

Installation

Install from PyPI using pip: pip install codenames

Usage

Here is a simple example of command-line based players, and a GameRunner that runs a game between them:

import logging

import sys

from codenames.boards.builder import generate_board
from codenames.game.color import TeamColor
from codenames.game.move import Guess, Hint
from codenames.game.player import Guesser, Hinter, GamePlayers
from codenames.game.runner import GameRunner
from codenames.game.state import GuesserGameState, HinterGameState

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO, format="%(message)s", stream=sys.stdout)


# Implement basic players

class CLIHinter(Hinter):
    def pick_hint(self, game_state: HinterGameState) -> Hint:
        print("Board state: \n" + game_state.board.printable_string)
        hint_word = input("Enter hint word: ")
        card_amount = int(input("Enter card amount: "))
        return Hint(word=hint_word, card_amount=card_amount)


class CLIGuesser(Guesser):
    def guess(self, game_state: GuesserGameState) -> Guess:
        print(game_state.board.printable_string)
        card_word = input("Enter card word: ")
        card_index = game_state.board.find_card_index(word=card_word)
        return Guess(card_index=card_index)


# Run game

def run_cli_game():
    language = "english"
    board = generate_board(language=language)
    blue_hinter, blue_guesser = CLIHinter("Yoda", TeamColor.BLUE), CLIGuesser("Luke", TeamColor.BLUE)
    red_hinter, red_guesser = CLIHinter("Einstein", TeamColor.RED), CLIGuesser("Newton", TeamColor.RED)
    players = GamePlayers.from_collection([blue_hinter, blue_guesser, red_hinter, red_guesser])
    runner = GameRunner(players=players, board=board)
    winner = runner.run_game()
    print(f"Winner: {winner}")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    run_cli_game()

Example output:

[Blue] turn.
