Make bots for a minimal MOG card game.

[djay]

Falling is an a creative commons hugely fun real time card game of 4-8 players. Over 15 years ago I had fun turning it into an multiplayer web app as my first every web app. I lost the code but I recreated it here http://54.254.172.52/Plone

but it's works much better with 6-7 players. I want your help to help those who have no friends and want to play by themselves. Suitable for beginners to advanced:

• learn the game
• write a simple python function that takes a game board and returns a move.

A board is

dict(next=(player_pos,_stack_index), players=[dict(name="fred", held="split", rider="extra_skip", cards=[["skip","grab"],["hit"]]),...])

and return a move of a list of plays. You get 2 plays per deal.

stack_index = 0
player_pos = 1
return [('pickup',stack_index), ('play', player_pos)]

I will work out how to let anyone interested write their python online and play them against each other.

Initial implementation in Python: https://github.com/wulab/falling

Needs a lot of guidances from @djay

I fixed the bug which prevented you from starting a game on http://54.254.172.52/Plone/game. Should work now. The create bots stuff should work but I doesn't give you helpful errors if your code has bugs

@wulab interesting code. Very OO. Very java looking. But where is the game logic? Why not have a try making a bot first?

@djay It is a still a WIP. Just get to a card dealing part. I wanted to make a bot but the server was not working yesterday.
