Cryptogram

Cryptogram puzzle game in Python

This is a Cryptogram puzzle game that you can play in the console.

How to run

0. Must have Python 3.8 and pipenv installed (installation instructions) (Python version > 3.6 should also work too, needs to have PEP 498 - formatted string literals)
1. Clone this repo: git clone https://github.com/kirakirakira/cryptogram.git
2. Make sure you are in the top project directory (cryptogram if you didn't rename it)
3. Run make init to install dependencies.
4. Run make activate to activate the virtual environment.
5. Run make run to start the game.

If you're unable to install pipenv, but you have Python 3.8, you can run the game without a virtual environment by running: python3 game.py

How to run tests

1. Run make test_puzzle to run tests on Puzzle.
2. Run make test_game to run tests on Game.

Game Overview

This is a Cryptogram puzzle game, and you will be deciphering some text and that text is a title of an episode of Gilmore Girls. For more on Cryptograms. For a list of Gilmore Girl episodes.

Since the game can take a while to actually play, you might notice that the answer is printed out at the beginning of a round of play...obviously this is just for testing purposes. 😆

Project Requirements Met

• Implemented a “master loop” console application where the user can repeatedly enter commands/perform actions, including choosing to exit the program (play_game and play_round)
• Created a class, then created at least one object of that class and populate it with data (Puzzle's puzzles come from Soup)
• Created a dictionary or list, populated it with several values, retrieved at least one value, and used it in the program (self.alpha_to_hash, self.hash_to_alpha, and self.alpha_to_guesses)
• Read data from an external file, such as text, JSON, CSV, etc and use that data in your application (scraped a webpage using Beautiful Soup) (Soup scrapes Gilmore Girl episode titles from a Wikipedia page)
• Created and called at least 3 functions, at least one of which returned a value that is used (there's a whole bunch)
• Create 3 or more unit tests for your application (see test_game.py and test_puzzle.py)
