`jeopyrdy`

Pronounced like "Jeopardy".

Run a simple Jeopardy game in python. For now, this is not a package and is intended to be cloned locally to play.

Rules of Jeopardy that are not implemented:

Daily double.
No final Jeopardy.
Others?

Install Dependencies

The code in this repository relies on a few non-standard library packages. They can be installed from a terminal that is within this cloned directory with:

python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Question CSV file

First you can create a csv file containing your game's questions that looks like this:

Category,Question,Answer
Category 1,This.,What is this?
Category 1,That.,What is that?
Category 2,Foo.,What is bar?

This file should be saved at the top level of the cloned directory (next to this README).

Game Script

Then in a python script you can create your board from this csv, a list of players, and a game:

# imports
from jeopardy import Player, Board, Game

# create jeopardy objects
board = Board.from_file("path-to-above.csv")
players = [Player("Player 1"), Player("Player 2")]
game = Game(topic="My Game's Topic", board=board, players=players)

# start the game
game.start()

Save this python code as a .py file. This file should be saved at the top level of the cloned directory (next to this README).

Run Game Script

Then, from a terminal that is within this cloned directory, and from a python environment with the dependencies installed, the game can be played with:

python path-to-your-game.py

Sound Effects

As the host running python, it can be fun to have this sound board open to provide your players with sounds.
