Creating a Simple Hunt the Wumpus Game with Python, Flask, and SocketIO

Proposed article introduction

One of the first computer games is Hunt the Wumpus. It is a simple adventure game that was developed in 1973. In Hunt the Wumpus, the player is an adventurer entering a dungeon looking for a treasure. The goal of the adventurer is to find the treasure and get out of the dungeon avoiding the pits where he can fall in and the Wumpus: a monster who kills anyone it sees. To do that, the player has to pay attention to the signals: when he is near a pit he can feel a breeze, and when he is near the Wumpus he can smell the Wumpus' stink.

Hunt the Wumpus was studied by computer scientists in the early days of the artificial intelligence field and it exemplifies the use of logic in A.I. In this tutorial, we are going to build a simple graphical web-based Hunt the Wumpus game using Python, Flask, and SocketIO.

Key takeaways

• The Hunt the Wumpus game (rules and a little bit of history)
• A little bit of the Hunt the Wumpus game contributions and applications in the early days of A.I.
• Integrating Flask and SocketIO in a real application
• Creating a simple UI for a simple web-based game
