Python Package Exercise - Virtual Pet 🐾

Description

Virtual Pet is a Python package for creating and interacting with a virtual pet, providing a playful and nostalgic experience for developers. The pet has attributes like happiness, cleanness, and sleep status, which can be managed through various actions. Users can feed, play with, and take care of their pet by giving it hugs, kisses, or showers, and can even put it to sleep. The virtual pet responds with different emojis based on its current state, adding a whimsical element to the interactions. The goal of this package is to add a bit of joy to everyday coding routines by incorporating a fun, interactive companion.

How to Install and Use the VirtualPet Package

1. Set Up a Virtual Environment and Install the Package：

   • Create a pipenv-managed virtual environment and install your package: Run the following command to install the virtualpet package from TestPyPI:

    pipenv install virtualpet-game
   

   • Activate the Virtual Environment:

     pipenv shell
     

2. Create a Python Program to Use the Package:

   • Create a Python file to test the package. To see a full code example using all functions of the virtualpet package, check out the Code example for all functions file. Code example for all functions

3. Run the Package Directly from the Command Line;

   • Set up and activate the pipenv virtual environment as before:

     pipenv install virtualpet-game
     pipenv shell

          action = input("(Options: feed/play/take shower/check status/sleep/restart/exit): ").strip().lower()
          if action == "feed":
              pet.feed_pet()
          elif action == "play":

          elif action == "check status":
              pet._display_status()
          elif action == "sleep":
              pet.pet_sleep()
          elif action == "restart":
              pet.restart()
          elif action == "exit":
              pet.exit()
          else:
              print("Invalid action. Please choose a valid action.")
  
  if __name__ == "__main__":
      main()
