alenbasic / tictactoe.py

Last active December 16, 2015 10:59

A game of tic tac toe with in built AI. With a little tweak you could randomize the AI's strategy so the game won't always end in a draw.

	import random

	# the board we print out
	board = ['[0]','[1]','[2]','[3]','[4]','[5]','[6]','[7]','[8]']
	# the list of winning combinations
	win_list = [[0,1,2],[3,4,5],[6,7,8],[0,3,6],[1,4,7],[2,5,8],[0,4,8],[2,4,6]]

	X = '\033[92m' + ' X ' + '\033[0m' # makes the x green in *nix systems
	O = '\033[91m' + ' O ' + '\033[0m' # makes the o red in *nix systems

alenbasic / tabs2spaces.py

Created May 22, 2013 02:31

When helping a friend with his code I kept having issues modifying it because of tabs/spaces (my text editors convert tabs to spaces while his doesn't) so I created this script so that I could quickly convert his tabs to spaces.

	import re; from sys import argv

	# start the program like this:
	# python tabs2spaces.py file_name_to_change.extension

	file_name = argv[1]
	read = open(file_name,'r+').read()
	update = re.sub("[\t]", ' ', read)
	save = open(file_name, 'w')
	save.write(update)

alenbasic / petals.py

Created May 22, 2013 13:26

A CLI implementation of the game Petals Around the Rose.

	from random import randrange

	a = "+-------+ "
	b = ["\| \| ","\|* \| ","\|* *\| "]
	c = ["\| \| ","\| * \| ","\|* *\| "]
	d = ["\| \| ","\| \| ","\| *\| "]

	while True:

	count = 0

alenbasic / grades.py

Created May 28, 2013 12:27

This is a simple script to figure out what your grade is, or where you're currently sitting at if you haven't got all your assessments back.

	fin_tot = 0
	fin_worth = 0

	def style_text(one,two):

	print(two)
	print('#'*50)
	print()

	random.shuffle(items)
	choice = random.randrange(0,3)
	choice_name = items[choice]
