Today's Lesson

For Day 14 I wanted to remix the project to challenge myself. I've completed 90% of the project in terms of my remix but to have the project work just like Angela has it in the course, I have that complete and ready to showcase.

Angela's Project

Just to clarify the objective of Angela's game: The game compares the follower count of 2 random users and the player guesses which user has a higher follower_count. The data set was something new for this project because while we learned about dictionaries and lists, we haven't used them in tandem with these capstone projects. But that's the gist of the game and there is a bunch of logic you have to think through in order to have this set up correctly. Some of which I needed some assistance with and others I tackled on my own. Note: The data was pre-set with a follower count and we didn't connect with any APIs to get the count.

Rick and Morty Battle Royal

My spin on the game was to not only create data that fits the Rick and Morty universe but to also change the game's objective to be more of a fighting-style guessing game instead of just a guessing game.

Change One

The first thing I changed was the key values:

OG Data

    {
        'name': 'Instagram',
        'follower_count': 346,
        'description': 'Social media platform',
        'country': 'United States'
    }

Remix

    {
        'name': 'Rick Sasnchez',
        'power': random.randint(1, 500),
        'skill': 'Intelligence',
        'country': 'United States'
    }

I updatedfollow_count to power and gave power a randomly generated number between 1-500. Next, I changed the description with skill. So far both still function the same, as in they are used as a description for the name of the person/fighter. The plan though was to associate skills with a function that give boons or disadvantages against other skills (kind of like elements in pokemon). That part of the project is not yet finished but since it's just fun addition and not needed. I was waiting to figure that out last.

Change Two

The second change was for one of the rules for the game. In Angela's version regardless of who has the higher user count, she instructed to make user B the new user A. The issue with my game is, I want the winner of the game to be assigned as fighter A on each new round, regardless if the winner is fighter A or fighter B. That logic is kicking my ass 😂. I've been looking into creating actual fighting games with Python to assist with getting this done but haven't cracked it just yet.

So besides the Winner carryover and skill stat addition, everything is working properly! I wrapped this up. I will add the code here but i will note that with the use of more files, I'm more likely going to start just linking my git repo. We will see though.
