Welcome to my recreation of the board game Splendor in Python!
- Download the repo onto your local computer.
- Python 3.10 or later is needed to run the repo, so download if you don't have it.
- in the repo's root directory start the game with "python3 play_splendor.py"
- The game will start with it's interactive GUI and guide you through playing the game
- At the end of each round you will have the opportunity to save the game for a later time.
- Enjoy!
This project is a chance to demonstrate my python skills, practice making games, and potentially add some analysis of the game and computer players at a later date.
The project is fully functional, allowing players to progress from the start of the game to the end as intended with the exception of a few edge cases such as the inability to buy using jokers.
Players can save their game state to a JSON file at the end of each round and resume from where they left off in the next session.
While the game is currently text-based, future enhancements could include a rules explanation at the start of the game, colored fonts for improved readability, and visual enhancements for noble cards.
- Add code testing
- Incorporate a rules explanation at the start of the game.
