  • Pykrieg can now play full local games!

    Pykrieg is a python engine for playing Guy Debord’s Le Jeu de la Guerre (A Game of War), it can be downloaded for free and played from the terminal with these commands (assuming you already have python 3.8 or higher on your system):

    linux/mac users:

    pip install pykrieg

    windows users:

    pip install pykrieg[console]

    playing the game:

    python -m pykrieg.console

    The next step for me is implementing an AI opponent, then cleaning everything up to make the engine more usable. The intent is that you can use it kind of like python-chess, where you let the engine handle validating all of the game logic and build your own UI and stuff around it, so I’ll make a separate program that demonstrates that functionality with some royalty free music and simple graphics, then the last thing I’ll add is the ability to define custom maps, units, and rules.
