Cuttle is a 2-player combat card game played using a standard 52 card deck. The aim is to be the first build a layout worth at least 21 points. Cards can be used for their point value, or to attack your opponent's layout by destroying or capturing cards.
This implimentation of Cuttle was created using PyGame.

First, start by cloning the repository:
git clone https://github.com/MatthewFoulk/cuttle.git
I recommend using virtualenv for development:
- Start by installing
virtualenvif you don't have it
pip install virtualenv
- Once installed access the project folder
cd src
- Create a virtual environment
virtualenv venv
- Enable the virtual environment
source venv/bin/activate
- Install the python dependencies on the virtual environment
pip install -r requirements.txt
- Start the game
python driver.py
Once these steps are successfully done, a new window will open with an instance of the Cuttle game ready for you to play and enjoy!

This project was originally supposed to be my first partner project with my sister Kelly Foulk, but I made it my own (sorry Kelly, we will have to do a different project). It was also supposed to have an AI player that you could play against, unfortunately, that quickly proved outside my skill level at the moment.
This was my first time working with PyGame and GUI's in general. It was also my first project in Python in a long while, not including CS50AI. I've been programming in Java for my undergraduate at the University of Maryland.
For the future, I would like to improve the general layout of both the Gui.py and cuttle.py modules. They both became quite hectic as I continued to add more logic, I even did a re-write on the play method and it still is that crazy looking. I would also like to improve the modifications available to the user, such as the time between turns, 9 and 4 usage, and the hand limit. At some point, it would be fun to create an AI to play the game, but I believe that may require a rather large (read complete) rewrite of this program.
One final note, you can tell where I slacked off (e.g. scoreboard, two-rebuttal, switching turns, etc) because it doesn't look pretty. At that time, I had finished all of the fun parts of the project and was looking only to create a fully working game.
