Rummi

Simple CLI implementation of the card game Rummi. Primarily an exercise in applying object-oriented programming.

Motivation

I play this game often with friends, and I always lose. So, developing this game was a way to train so I can one day win. :)

Skills and Concepts Learned

• Classes and OOP
• Unit testing
• Why we use if __name__ == '__main__':
• Using the debugger in VSCode
• Appreciating 'flat is better than nested'
• Naming variables, functions, and classes effectively is important but difficult
• Refactoring code can speed up debugging and improve readability
• Using OBStudio for display capture, then converting to GIF with convertio.co

Future Work

• Add 'AI' to play against
• Use probability to optimize decision making at each turn (i.e., should a card be drawn from the deck? the discard pile? the whole discard pile?)
• Add GUI with Pygame

rummi's Issues

adding single card to existing set on table results in invalid move

add swap method to allow cards to be swapped with wildcards on the table
