Parosis is a Paper-Rock-Scissors game

Motivation

Primary goal of this project is getting more experienced on some Python related stuff:

• typing library and mypy.
• Dataclasses
• Enum
• curses library.
• Python suport of Visual Studio Code (conclusion: barely usable).
• Single-dispatch generic functions (todo)
• Literal String Interpolation (todo)
• Asyncio (todo )

Requirements

• Python 3.7
• A terminal that properly supports curses interface.

Game play

Currently only curses based console interface is implemented which should work on Linux and MacOS.

Run python game.py --help to get more info about possible options.

I plan to implement a browser based UI probably using aiohttp or Quart.

You can check screencast.gif file to get an idea about what it looks like.

• Number of rounds can be specified using --rounds parameter.

Can be played in two different modes:

• Just chance
  • Player can make a choice any time.
• Chance and timing:
  • Pass --timer parameter to enable countdown timer.
  • Player needs to make a choice just before the countdown finishes but within a certain threshold.
  • Countdown time can be set using --countdown parameter. Check --help to see the default threshold.
  • Threshold can be set using --threshold parameter.
