## Overview
bncpy is a robust Python-based game development tool that simplifies the process of creating a code-breaking game.
This project streamlines the game development process, providing a comprehensive suite of features for building a Bulls and Cows game. The core features include:
- **Game Logic Management:** Handles the setup, progress, and conclusion of the game, ensuring a smooth gaming experience.
- **Game State Management:** Manages game state, player state, and game configuration, maintaining the integrity of the game.

requirements.txt
- Requirements.txt serves as a manifest for the projects Python dependencies, generated automatically by uv from pyproject.toml
- It lists libraries like anyio, certifi, httpx, and others, indicating their versions and interdependencies
- This file is crucial for ensuring consistent environment setup across different development and deployment scenarios.
pyproject.toml
- The pyproject.toml file serves as the configuration blueprint for the bncpy project, a game developed by Jae W
- Choi
- It outlines the build system, project details, dependencies, and formatting rules
- The project requires Python 3.12 or higher and uses tools like setuptools and wheel for building and packaging
- It also specifies coding style guidelines using the ruff tool.
example.py
- Example.py demonstrates the functionality of a collaborative and competitive game mode in a code-breaking game
- It showcases the process of setting up the game, adding players, submitting guesses, and tracking game status
- The script also tests JSON serialization and deserialization of the game state.

File Name
Summary
board.py
- Board.py manages the game board for a Bulls and Cows game, handling the initialization and validation of game parameters such as code length, number of colors, and number of guesses
- It also manages the game state, including tracking guesses, evaluating the correctness of guesses, and determining game outcomes.
game.py
- Game.py manages the game logic for a board game involving multiple players
- It handles the setup, progress, and conclusion of the game, including player actions such as submitting guesses and setting secret codes
- The module ensures consistency across player boards and determines the games winner(s).
utils.py
- Bnc/utils.py` serves as a utility module in the codebase, providing essential functions for validating user input, generating random guesses, calculating game scores, and fetching random numbers
- It ensures the integrity of the game logic and enhances the overall functionality of the application.
player.py
- Player, located at bnc/player.py, represents a participant in the game, maintaining their name and game board
- It provides methods to set a secret code, make a guess, and check the game status
- It interacts with the Board class to evaluate guesses and determine game outcomes.
state.py
- The state.py module in the Bulls and Cows game codebase manages the game state, player state, and game configuration
- It handles player actions such as submitting guesses, adding or removing players, and resetting the game
- It also validates game configurations and maintains the games state, including tracking winners and remaining guesses.

## Getting Started
### Prerequisites
This project requires the following dependencies:
- **Programming Language:** Python
- **Package Manager:** Pip, Uv
### Installation
Build bncpy from the source and intsall dependencies:
1. **Clone the repository:**
```sh
git clone https://github.com/jwc20/bncpy
```
2. **Navigate to the project directory:**
```sh
cd bncpy
```
3. **Install the dependencies:**
```sh
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
```sh
uv sync --all-extras --dev
```
Alternatively, you can pip install:
```bash
# Install package from PyPi
pip install bncpy
```
### Usage
```python
from bnc import Board, Game, Player
from bnc.utils import generate_guess, get_random_number
# Game configuration
config = {
"code_length": 4,
"num_of_colors": 6,
"num_of_guesses": 10
}
# Create players with boards
players = [
Player(name="Jae", board=Board(**config)),
Player(name="Soo", board=Board(**config)),
Player(name="Benjamin", board=Board(**config)),
Player(name="Charlotte", board=Board(**config))
]
# Create game with secret code
secret_code = get_random_number(length=4, max_value=5) # Random 4-digit code
game = Game(players, secret_code=secret_code)
# Submit guesses
game.submit_guess(players[0], "1234")
game.submit_guess(players[1], generate_guess(config["code_length"], config["num_of_colors"])) # Random guess
# Check game state
print(game.state)
players[0].board.display_board()
# Check winners
if game.winners:
for winner in game.winners:
print(f"Winner: {winner.name}")
```
### Setting the secret code
- **Multiple ways to set secret codes:**
- Via Game initialization: `Game(players, secret_code="1234")`
- Per player: `player.set_secret_code_to_board("1234")`
- Random generation: `game.set_random_secret_code()`
### Testing
Bncpy uses the **pytest** test framework. Run the test suite with:
**Using [pip](https://pypi.org/project/pip/):**
```sh
pytest
```
**Using [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/):**
```sh
uv run pytest tests/
```
