Today I stumbled upon CodinGame, a site with programming challenges. I'll describe one of them.
ASCII art allows you to represent forms by using characters. To be precise, in our case, these forms are words. For example, the word "MANHATTAN" could be displayed as follows in ASCII art:
# ...
(I'm a little bit busy right now) but the core is basically: there's a hexagonal grid with robots, crystals, bases, and obstacles. Each player "owns" two bots, a base, and a collection of programming tokens. Each bot has a 3-token-long program. On each player's turn. they can edit their programs and then the bots' programs are executed.
From what I understand, we need these classes for the basic bot structure: - Bot: Holds 3 commands, which can be edited by the player. Stores the 3-token program which is executed on each turn - Token: One of the tokens a player can use for their bots' programs. needs some kind of call(bot) method.
> Who calls what? Are the classes just data structures, or should they have the correct helper methods? Do methods that take, say, an order and a player get implemented on the board, the GameState, the order, or the player?
I would say an Order has a helper function which calls itself upon a given bot. Bots store their own location which is read by the GameState (via the Player class, which stores its two bots)
from abc import ABCMeta
from collections import UserList
class TooManyOrders(ValueError):
pass
class OrderList(UserList, metaclass=ABCMeta):
"""An abstract order list"""
class DefaultOrderList(OrderList):
"""
An OrderList with max size three, like in the original game.
Supports all Python list operations.
"""
max_orders = 3 # type: int
def __init__(self, orders=None):
# This method is called every time an inherited list operation is run.
# See the comment below docs.python.org/3/library/collections.html#collections.UserList.
If you try to DefaultOrderList and append too many items, it raises the exception
> Todo: - [ ] Get code reviewed - [ ] Add specific method templates - This is the only "real part" that needs to be worked on - [ ] Outline `main.py`, create game event loop
@Downgoat It is an extremely specific type system that has accurate type checkers; the default implementation does no runtime type checking (it checks if your annotations are valid, though); but mypy (which is by the same people as CPython) supports runtime type checking.
