Python and Dominion
Programming and game setup
Dominion is a deck-building card game with 13 expansions.
One of the problems with playing regularly is carting around and keeping track of over 5,000 cards every week. Fortunately, there is a computer language that helps me with the task of setting up the weekly game.
I use Python to select 4 of the 13 expansions.
I then ask it to select a total of 10 kingdom cards from those 4 expansions. If one of the expansions happens to be Alchemy, select 3 cards from the set and the remaining 7 from the rest of the sets.
Then Decide whether or not we are going to play with Platinum and colonies.
Then Decide whether or not we are going to play with shelters.
Then Choose a selection of cards from landmarks, events, ways and projects. Choose between 1 and 3 of these cards. Only 1 of each type.
Finally make a print out of the selected cards for the next 4 weeks.
Here is the code.
