zhot 0.2.1

Command-line implementation of Zhot, an extensible Scissors-Paper-Stone game.

Zhot

I had some fun teaching myself Perl with my Rock-Paper-Scissors script over at https://bitbucket.org/AmyDeeDempster/rock-paper-scissors

This is a more extensible version in Python, done in a more mathematical and object-oriented manner.

Usage

### Establishing game rules

Supply a Comma-Separated Values file as a command-line argument for this script. For example:

zhot moves/moves-5.csv

If not supplied, a default set of three-move rules will be used.

### Gameplay and user input

In the game, type the name of the move you wish to play. This can be abbreviated.

Other commands available include:

• rules or help

• score

• rounds

• diagram

• exit or quit

You can also just hit Return to quit the game.

### Rule diagram

The diagram command generates, from the rules of the current game a vector diagram illustrating those rules.

Dependencies

• csv

• re

### Third-party (pyPI)
