Installation

Install the devdice module with pip:

pip install devdice

Importing devdice Functions

You can use any function in your own projects by it importing devdice then calling it directly:

from devdice import{
    Chooser
    Eliminator
    MagicEightBall
    roulette
    flip_a_coin
    roll_a_dice
    rock_paper_scissors
    random_color_generator
}

# Flip a coin 5 times
print(flip_a_coin(5)) # Possible Output: ['Heads', 'Heads', 'Heads', 'Heads', 'Tails']

# Generate two rock, paper, scissors outcomes
print(rock_paper_scissors(2)) # Possible Output: ['Scissors', 'Rock']

Usage Examples

Eliminator Class

elim = Eliminator(['Option A', 'Option B', 'Option C'])
print(elim.eliminate()) # Removes and returns a random option

Chooser Class

chooser = Chooser(['Option A', 'Option B', 'Option C'])
print(chooser.pick()) # Returns a randomly selected option

MagicEightBall Class

magic_eight_ball = MagicEightBall()
print(magic_eight_ball.shake()) # Returns a randomly selected Magic Eight Ball response

roulette(starting: int)

print(roulette(2)) # Spins wheel with 2 of 6 winning positions 

flip_a_coin(num: int)

print(flip_a_coin(5)) # Flips 5 coins

roll_a_dice(num: int)

print(roll_a_dice(5)) # Rolls 5 dice

rock_paper_scissors(num: int = 1)

print(rock_paper_scissors()) # Generates a rock, paper, scissors outcome
print(rock_paper_scissors(2)) # Generates list of 2 rock, paper, scissors outcomes

random_color_generator(num: int = 1)

print(random_color_generator()) # Generates a hex-codes color string
print(random_color_generator(2)) # Generates list of 2 hex-codes color strings

Demonstrative Python Script

Environment Setup for Contributors

Virtual Environment Setup

1. In your python project's directory, if you have not done so already, Create a pipenv-managed virtual environment.

2. Enter that virtual environment: pipenv shell.

3. Install package dependencies: pip install -r requirements.txt.

4. Create a Python program file that imports devdice and uses it.

5. Run the program: python3 my_program_filename.py.

6. Exit the virtual environment: exit.

Running Unit Testing

Simple example unit tests are included within the tests directory. To run these tests...

1. Install pytest into the virtual environment, e.g. pipenv install pytest

2. Run the tests from the main project directory: python3 -m pytest.

3. Tests should never fail. Any failed tests indicate that the production code is behaving differently from the behavior the tests expect.

Instructions for setting up any environment vartiables and importing any starter data

There are no environemnt variables or starter data necessary for the system to operate correctly when run.

Instructions for any "secret" configuration files

There are no "secret" configuration files such as .env or anything of that nature.
