Learn about Python by exploring a simple card game simulation.

Mau Mau

Command line implementation of a german card game called Mau Mau.

Why?

This project is intended to be a learning tool with comprehensive documentation. It is not only for learning about Python as a programming language it is meant to demonstrate how the language is part of a vast Open Source ecosystem. This simple application uses all my (current) favorite bells and whistles of this ecosystem.

This project is also part of the Python Exploration Toolkit.

A visual profiler is handy to demonstrate execution behaviour and timing. PyVmMonitor is being used for that.
