Note: This was a script that was made for a specific purpose. It may not ready to use right away without modifying the script but you are more than welcome to modify it if necessary.
Given two csv files, this script can quickly generate a simulated Hunger Game using Brant Steele's generator.
In order to use this script, you'll need:
- FireFox or Google Chrome: Download Google Chrome here OR Download Firefox here
- The web driver for your preferred browser above: ChromeDriver for Google Chrome OR geckodriver for FireFox
- Selenium WebDriver: Download here
Ensure that your browser drivers are placed in your PATH in order for the script to work.
To download, you may simply download the repository as a zip folder or clone the repository using git.
Once downloaded, you'll have to make some modifications to cast.csv, events.csv and creategame.py.
Do not change the names of the above files as they are referenced in the code.
cast.csv is your file that contains information on your tributes. It contains the follow headers:
- Timestamp
- Name
- Discord Name
- Pronouns
- Profile pic link
- Event
If you have created a Google form that people can use to apply to your Hunger Games, you can simply export the results to this folder and rename it as cast.csv.
events.csv contains custom events that may occur during your game. It has the following headers:
- Type
- Fatal
- NumberTrib
- T1Killer
- T2Killer
- T3Killer
- T4Killer
- T5Killer
- T6Killer
- T1Killed
- T2Killed
- T3Killed
- T4Killed
- T5Killed
- T6Killed
- Event
The type refers to when the event occurs. It can occur during one of the following times of the day:
- Bloodbath
- Day
- Night
- Feast
NOTE: At this time, it cannot support arena events.
Fatal determines if the event results in at least one tribute being eliminated from the game. The cells in the csv are either marked with a "Y" for yes (fatal) or "N" for no (not fatal).
This refers to how many tributes are involved in an event. It can range from 1 to 6 inclusive.
These columns determine which players are the killers and which players are killed. Cells in this column are marked with either a 0 for "No" (Player is not the killer and/or not killed) and 1 for "Yes" (Player is the killer and/or not killed). Events where players are marked as a killer will have their kill count increase by 1 when the event occurs.
This is the description of the event itself.
This is the script itself. The follow modifications can be made to the script:
You have the option to create the game using either Firefox or Google Chrome. To select one of the browsers, comment out the code of the browser that you are not using in the code block below in the file.
#Create firefox profile with preferences to disable loading images
#Disabling images allows the page to load faster
firefox_profile = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
firefox_profile.set_preference('permissions.default.image', 2)
firefox_profile.set_preference('dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.libflashplayer.so', 'false')
#create Firefox Driver
driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile=firefox_profile)
#Create chrome profile with preferences to disable loading images
#Disabling images allows the page to load faster
chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
prefs = {"profile.managed_default_content_settings.images": 2}
chrome_options.add_experimental_option("prefs", prefs)
#create Chrome driver
driver = webdriver.Chrome("/path/to/chromedriver",chrome_options=chrome_options)
In the line driver = webdriver.Chrome("/path/to/chromedriver",chrome_options=chrome_options), replace the /path/to with the actual path of your chromedriver.
These are fields that label and represent your game.
seasonName = driver.find_element_by_name("seasonname")
seasonName.send_keys("Hunger Games")
logoUrl = driver.find_element_by_name("logourl")
logoUrl.send_keys("https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/dc/The_Hunger_Games.jpg")
In this block above, you may change the name of the season in the quotaton marks inside seasonName,send_keys and the url of the logo for your game in the quotation marks inside logoUrl.send_keys.
When everything has been set up, in your terminal, go into the folder and type in python creategame.py. From there, you'll be prompted to select to create a game with either 24, 36 or 48 tributes and you are good to go.
Once your game has been created, you can obtain the url provided by the generator and share it!
