A 5e D&D battle simulator written for my own amusement to test some hypotheses. Edit: An online version of the simulator is hosted in Openshift Edit: I started making a spreadsheet of a beastiary, which I was hoping to use to get all the presets that are currently hardcoded, but I have run out of time for now to do them all. The code nevertheless if give only a string to initialise a Creature it will check in both. Disclaimer based on my vague legal knowledge, download the spreadsheet only if you own the MM.
import DnD_Battler as DnD
DnD.Creature("barkskin_bear") ###A criptic hardcoded creature
DnD.Creature("hobgoblin") ##A creature from the beastiary spreadsheet
#Documentation Welcome to the D&D Battle simulator. Go to the § HERE IS WHERE YOU CAN DECIDE THE LINE UP if you want to try it out. The similator is set up as a munchkin combat where everyone targets the weakest due to find_weakest_target method of the Encounter class. Changing TARGET (above) to something else will change the targetting. The muchkinishness has a deleterious side-effect when the method deathmatch of the Encounter class is invoked —this allocates each Creature object in the Encounter object in a different team. The nitty-gritty: There are three classes he=re: Dice, Character, Encounter. Dice accepts bonus plus an int —8 is a d8— or a list of dice —[6,6] is a 2d6— or nothing —d20. roll() distinguishes between a d20 and not. d20 crits have to be passed manually. Character has a boatload of attributes. It can be initilised with a dictionary or an unpacked one... or a single name matching a preset. Encounter includes the following method: battle(reset=1) does a single battle (after a reset of values if asked). it calls a few other fuctions such as roll_for_initiative() go_to_war(rounds=1000) performs many battles and gives the team results verbosity (verbose=1) is optional. There is some code messiness resulting from the unclear distinction between Encounter and Creature object, namely a Creature interacting with another is generally a Creature method, while a Creature searching across the list of Creatures in the Encounter is an Encounter method. There are one or two approximations that are marked #NOT-RAW. In the Encounter.battle method there are some thought on the action choices.
