This is a simple Python script for tournament games
Getting Started
In short, you can play your tournament game by 1) write down the description of
your tournament in a file, and 2) repeatedly runs ./tournament.py run and
select winners until the tournament completes. For example:
$ echo "
what is the best programming language?
c
c++
python
java
javascript
go
rust" > description
$ ./tournament.py run
what is the best programming language?
1. javascript
2. rust
Please select: 2
current status:
what is the best programming language?
candidates: javascript, rust, python, java, c++, go, c, None
0 round (4 matches)
javascript vs rust (winner: rust)
python vs java (winner: not decided yet)
c++ vs go (winner: not decided yet)
c vs None (winner: not decided yet)
$ ./tournament.py run
what is the best programming language?
1. python
2. java
Please select: 1
current status:
what is the best programming language?
candidates: python, c, c++, java, javascript, go, rust
0 round (4 matches)
javascript vs rust (winner: rust)
python vs java (winner: python)
c++ vs go (winner: not decided yet)
c vs None (winner: not decided yet)
Description File
You should write down a description of the tournament in a file. The first
line of the file should be the title of the tournament (e.g., what is the best
noodle?). Then, players of the tournament should come one by one in each line.
Empty lines and comment lines that starts with # are allowed.
tournament.py assumes the path to the file would be ./description. If
that's not your case, you can specify the path to your description file via
--description option.
Show Status
You can show the current status of the tournament by passing status instead
of run to tournament.py. For example:
$ ./tournament.py status
what is the best programming language?
candidates: python, c, c++, java, javascript, go, rust
0 round (4 matches)
javascript vs rust (winner: rust)
python vs java (winner: python)
c++ vs go (winner: not decided yet)
c vs None (winner: not decided yet)
