GAMEEA Project

Introduction

GAMEEA is a game store management application designed to streamline the process of managing users, customers, games, purchases, and game categories. It features a command-line interface (CLI) that allows administrators to perform tasks such as adding new games, managing customer information, and processing purchases efficiently. With a well-organized database structure and intuitive user prompts, GAMEEA aims to provide a seamless experience for managing a game store's inventory and customer interactions.

Generating Your Environment

You might have noticed in the file structure- there's already a Pipfile!

Install any additional dependencies you know you'll need for your project by adding them to the Pipfile. Then run the commands:

pipenv install
pipenv shell

python lib/seed.py

---

Generating Your CLI

 python lib/cli.py

heres a sample of lib/cli.py that looks like this:

# lib/cli.py

from helpers import (
    exit_program,
    list_games,
    game_by_title,
    game_by_category,
    add_game,
    add_customer,
    customer_buys_game,
    user_login,
    delete_game
)

def main():
    if user_login():
        while True:
            menu()
            choice = input("> ")
            if choice == "0":
                exit_program()
            elif choice == "1":
                list_games()
            elif choice == "2":
                game_by_title()
            elif choice == "3":
                game_by_category()
            elif choice == "4":
                add_game()
            elif choice == "5":
                add_customer()
            elif choice == "6":
                customer_buys_game()
            elif choice == "7":
                delete_game()
            else:
                print("Invalid choice")

def menu():
    print("Please select an option:")
    print("0. Exit the program")
    print("1. List all games")
    print("2. Find game by title")
    print("3. Find games by category")
    print("4. Add a game")
    print("5. Add a customer")
    print("6. Customer buys a game")
    print("7. Delete a game")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()


The helper functions are located in `lib/helpers.py`:

```py
# lib/helpers.py

def list_games():
    print("Listing all games...")

def game_by_title():
    print("Finding game by title...")

def game_by_category():
    print("Finding games by category...")

def add_game():
    print("Adding a new game...")

def add_customer():
    print("Adding a new customer...")

def customer_buys_game():
    print("Processing customer game purchase...")

def delete_game():
    print("Deleting a game...")

def exit_program():
    print("Goodbye!")
    exit()

Data Models

The data models are located in the lib/models directory. Each model corresponds to a table in the database.

user.py Manages user accounts and handles authentication.

customer.py Tracks customers and their information.

game.py Stores details about games, including title, category, and price.

purchase.py Logs purchases made by customers, linking customers to games.

category.py Contains game categories to classify games.

__init__.py Initializes database connections and constants.
