UNO - Card game lab¶

The goal of this lab is to teach classes and objects through the implementation of a text-based game.

Setup¶

After cloning the repository, run the following command in your Terminal:

pip install -r requirements.txt

This will automatically install all of the packages required to run this lab.

Play!¶

Run python game.py to play!

Note: setup from command line¶

The game can be setup from the command line to avoid going through the manual setup:

python game.py -h human_name-human_name-... -c computer_strategy-computer_strategy-... -f deck_file.csv

Cards¶

Cards are can be read into the game from a csv file organized as such: | color | number | special | |——-|——–|—————-| | red | 2 | | | red | | skip | | | | wild-draw-four |

The following sets of cards are included in this repo:

standard deck (uno_cards.csv)
standard deck without special cards (uno_cards_basic.csv)
standard deck without draw two cards or wild draw four cards (uno_cards_no_draw.csv)

Rules¶

The rules of this implementation of uno are based on the ones found here: http://play-k.kaserver5.org/Uno.html

Some exceptions:

If a player draws a card because they cannot play during their turn, they cannot immediately play that card (they must wait until their next turn).
If a player plays an invalid card, they must return the card to their hand, draw two cards and end their turn.
The game always starts the same way, even if a special card is drawn as the first top card. A random color is chosen if the first card is a wild card.
No scoring or stats are maintained over multiple games. [But this could make a great extension!]
