Python library for solving the McKinsey Solve Game
Project description
McKinsey Solve Game
This Python package helps solving the Ecosystem Building game from the McKinsey Solve Game. In this game, you need to find a sustainable chain of 8 species among many species (39 in total).
This package provides a function called find_sustainable_food_chain, which takes a list of species as input and returns a solution that optimizes the creation of sustainable food chains, maximizing the count of species involved.
Rules of the Game
A set of 39 species is given. From this set, you need to build a sustainable food chain. Species are divided into producers and animals. Producers do not need calories to survive and consume only natural resources. Animals consume other animals and producers and need calories to survive. Animals follow the following rules:
- The species with the highest calories provided eats first.
- It eats the species providing the highest calories provided as a food source. In case of a tie, it will eat half from each of the two species with the same calories.
- Eating consumes calories from the food source by the amount needed by the predator. You need calories provided greater than zero for a species to survive and all calories needed equal to zero after they eat.
If a species does not get enough calories or reaches zero with its own calories provided, the food chain is not sustainable.
Installation
To install mckinseysolvegame, simply use pip:
pip install mckinseysolvegame

Find the species that form a sustainable food chain
from mckinseysolvegame import Solver
result = Solver.find_sustainable_food_chain(my_species)
result.to_json()
The API will return a JSON object with the following format:
{
"species": [
"Purple Hydrocoral",
"Stalked Kelp",
"Blue Shark",
"Rock Weed",
"Powder Blue Tang",
"Flame Angelfish",
"Swordfish",
"Bicolour Angelfish",
"Northern Red Snapper",
"Eyestripe Surgeonfish"
]
}
This object contains the maximum number of species that can sustain, as well as the list of species names.
