Cluedo is a popular board game. The object of the game is to determine who murdered the game's victim, where and which weapon was used. Each player attempts to deduce the correct answer by strategically moving around a game board and collecting clues about the circumstances of the murder from the other players.
The aim of the project is to create the perfect Cluedo player, who extracts all the possible information from the ongoing game, delivering the solution as soon as it is logically possible.
The initial idea is to realize an algorithm which can be fed up with the events of the game in the simplest way possible, making its way towards the solution.
Python-wise, this project is a way for me to explore the object-oriented programming which I rarely use while performing data analysis.
To run the code you should download the entire content of the repository in a folder. Then you can run the following command from the command line:
python Cluedo.pyThe idea is that a player should register what happens in a real game with this script. The program will then eventually tell the player what is the solution of the game.
No external library is required to run this code.
Some ideas for improvements are:
- Creation of a GUI
- Implementation of a log/save/load mechanism
