You will implement the two player version. One player will be the computer (i.e. your program) and the other a use! of your program. In what follows, let's refer to the computer player as Robot and user player as Human. You may assume that Robot will always deal the cards.
As part of this assignment I provided the file called a4_GAME_xxxxxx.py. Replace x x x x x x in the file name with your student number. You should open that file and run it to see what it does already. All of your code must go inside of that file. The file already has some functions that are fully coded for you and other functions for which only docstrings and partial or no code are provided. Designing your program by decomposing it into smaller subproblems (to be implemented as functions) makes programming easer, less prone to errors and makes your code more readable.
No part of the given code can be changed. Your code must go into clearly indicated places. No code can be added to the main. You can design some extra functions of your own if you like.
Functions make_deck, wait_for_player and shuffle_deck are already fully coded for you.
You need to develop the remaining functions: deal_cards, remove_pairs, print_deck, get_valid_input, and play_game. The functions must meet the requirements as specified in their docstrings (and as implied by the example program runs below and as implied by the video instructions).
The main bulk of your code (the game playing part) will go into the function called play_game. That function should use/call the other functions that you are required to develop (i.e. deal_cards, remove_pairs, print_deck, and get valid input).
When developing function get_valid_input you may assume that Human will enter integer when asked for an integer, but you may not assume that it will be in the correct range.
The function get_valid_input gets the input from Human about which face-down card of Robot it wants. When it is Robot's turn to play you must implement it such that Robot takes a random card from Human. Also recall that what Human calls 3rd card, for example, is in position/index 2 in Robot's deck (as it is represented by a list).
Study the example of the program run below carefully to understand how your program should behave. The behaviour of the program that you see in the run is required s all aspects of it. Also watch the video I made to get even better idea of how your program must behave. The video can be found here: https://youtu.be/ Dmh5Rsdwn18
Some suggestions:
- Study the provided code and understand what it does and how it should be used.
- Spend some time thinking about various parts of the game that need to be implemented. For example, it needs to be able to display Human's deck to Human, it needs to be able to ask Human for what card she wants, it needs to be able to remove pairs from either Human or Robot's deck... etc. The provided functions do quite of bit of that job for you.
- When you are coding individual functions recall that you can test each function in the shell without finishing the remaining functions. For example, when implementing function remove_pairs you can test it in the shell by typing something like:
Thus you can code and test your functions one by one (without completing the other parts)
- The game alternates between Robot and Human. Think about how you can represent whose turn it is to play, in your program. One way is to have a variable that you set to zero when it is Robot's turn and to one when it is Human's turn. You also need to figure out what to test to see if the game is over.
