	wrong = 0.0
	x = 100000

	for i in range(x):
	items = ['goat','prize', 'goat']
	random.shuffle(items)
	choice = random.randrange(0,3)
	choice_name = items[choice]

alenbasic / grades.py

	fin_worth = 0

	def style_text(one,two):
	print()
	print('#'*50)
	print(one)
	print(two)
	print('#'*50)
	print()

A CLI implementation of the game Petals Around the Rose.

	from random import randrange

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

	while True:

	count = 0

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)

	import random

	while True:

	print()
	print('#'*50)

	print("ULTIMATE JANKEN!")

	print("1: Rock 8: Paper ")

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 / hangman.py

A hangman game based on the words file in *nix systems.

	import random

	file = open("/usr/share/dict/words").read().splitlines()
	dict = []
	for word in file:
	dict.append(word)
	guesses = []
	incorrect = 10
	word = (dict[random.randrange(0,len(dict)-1)]).lower()
	blank = list('' len(word))

alenbasic / arab_roman.py
