A colorful code-breaking game

Intro to Python Programming Saarland University 20 December 2012

Clone the repository or download and expand the .zip archive, and move into the resulting brainlord directory.

Then, to run the game, simply run the script game_driver.py with Python 3.

For example:

Anjanas-MacBook-Air:Sheet6 Anjana$ python3 game_driver.py

This will launch the GUI for the game. Use the buttons to navigate, and read the rules to learn how to play.

The following files contain necessary classes and functions and must be in the same directory as game_driver.py:

• BLapp.py
• board.py
• functions.py
• pegs.py
• row.py

Please see the comments in each of these files for more information.

The following file lists the game rules, and must also be in the same directory:

• rules.txt

The game stores all the player names and scores in the file:

• scores.txt

The first time the game is played in the given directory, this file will be created. After that, the app will read the "scores.txt" file and display the high scores on the "High Scores" page. Deleting this file will erase all the scores in the game's memory.
