Battlin' strategies to win the most games of the Game of Pure Strategy (GOPS)

What in the sweet Jesus is this?

I thought the Game Of Pure Stratergy was really cool, so I created a python class, GameOfPureStrategy, to simulate a game of it. Then I created GameArena so I could simulate multiple games in a row. Then I started creating ever more complicated bots to play. I'm not sure what happened, now I have a very flexible implementation of GOPS in python, where competing "solutions" can fight head to head for the most wins in nerdy combat.

And now that you're here, we're here together.

If you dig this half as much as I do, perhaps you want to make a bot and see how it performs. If so, here's what you need to know:

How do I use this?

• play_GOPS.py is the module that kicks off games.
  • Bots are passed by the class to GameArena, so you can easily modify:
    • which bots participate,
    • how many games to play
    • how to print to console. (useful for figuring out how bots play and tweaking strategy)

Think you can do better?

I do my official tests with 2 bots, 100,000 runs, and 13 cards.

1. Create your bot(s), and place them in a new python file in the bots directory.
   • Check out required bot format in bots/A_sampleBot.py
2. Send me a pull request with your bot. I'll add your bot to the leaderboard :)
